Sparky is dying. And there is nothing I can do about it.
It saddens me greatly to have to report that Sparky is dying. I received the news about a week ago, and although I was holding out faint hope that the test results wouldn't confirm the worst, they unfortunately have.
Sparky has a cancerous tumer at the base of his nose and the most aggressive form of cancer at that. Nothing holds out the option for a cure. The only things that can be done can potentially lengthen his life by a few months, but at a great cost to Sparky. Radiation therapy is one of the treatments that has been suggested. It is not a cure and there is no hope of remission.
The sense of helplessness is what cuts the most painfully.
