In Memoriam

I should probably try to find a picture of Daley when she was perky. She was such a mellow dog.

Right after Christmas, Daley lost her battle with cancer. She survived 6 months longer than she was expected to. I diagnosed her with Stage 4b lymphoma on July 4th. That's a tumor of the small white blood cells called lymphocytes. If lymphoma is circulating, it's called leukemia.

She responded WAAAAAY better to chemo than expected. I'm a believer in quality over quantity and I would only continue chemo if she felt well. Surprisingly enough, she felt really good during her chemo (for the most part). She had off days. It took creativity to find foods that she wanted to eat, but all in all, she kept doing all of the things she enjoyed doing.

Daley was at least 15 years old. Not bad for an old girl!
