Apollo Health Update.....















Well...Let me catch everyone up on our old man Apollo. We found out a few weeks after his surgery to remove a tumor that we thought was cancerous..that it WASN"T cancer!!! It basically was an inflammation that may be from a vaccine reaction. Though, it more than likely WOULD have become malignant at a later date. I'm just thankful that it wasn't cancer:)

We feel so blessed that we have had 2 tumors removed from Apollo in less then a year and both came back benign. The first tumor was a large growth on his spleen last October, so his tumor AND spleen were removed and sent off for a histopath and came back clean!! Attached are the pics of his spleen and tumor once they were removed. We decided to see the humor in it all and named his tumor "Butters." LOL

Apollo is doing great! We will be celebrating this amazing boy's life and 12th birthday in a few weeks with a Birthday Bash with all our closest friends! Won't Apollo be the center of attention!!!

Oh, Tammy! Yuck! Poor Apollo! He's cancer-free because of all the good stuff you feed him and all the love he gets!
