A bit more Buzz

It's a shame you couldn't whizz him up the road to Rossdales to use their CT scanner, would've been less travelling for you both?

I know - would be so much easier. Unfortunately they don't have an appointment until next Tuesday and time isn't on our side :(
 
Thank you for the update. Keep strong have a big hug from me, your beautiful boy couldn't ask for a more caring owner xx
 
Something of a long day....

After 'discussions' around loading, we got him to RVC where he was sedated (he's a permanent stoner at the moment) and scanned. Fascinating bit of kit.
Unfortunately CT vet said that tumour was bigger than expected and that we are very unlucky :(

But the amazingly positive team at Cambridge Uni are going ahead with radiotherapy to try and blast the hell out of it, starting Thursday. I've had caveats galore but his key vet (who Buzz and I are both utterly in love with now) has said that she is very hopeful that they can do something to shrink it.
It is likely to leave him with white hair on that side of his face but frankly if it leaves him alive and with blue hair I would be thrilled.
I know there is no guarantee at all and chances of success are small, but it's all we've got at the moment. I asked Kate (wondervet) if there is any chance we could get him to a a stage where he could be a lawnmower...she replied with "I'm aiming for a hell of a lot more than that, I want to see this horse eventing!"...which is probably the only thing to make me smile in two weeks.
So his month of radiotherapy starts this week - 4 general anaesthetics but otherwise it's a non-invasive procedure.

Again - huge love to Puppy today, source of lorry and sanity.

Thanks so much for the HHO support, means a lot. Shall keep you updated xxxx
 
Wow that is great news, vet sounds positive and seems to be talking long term from what u have said. Fingers crossed for blasting the crap out of that tumour ! Come on buzz u gorgeous donk we r all routing for u ......
 
That is good news....you must be so pleased that there is hope. Keep positive and I wish you both all the best.Whatever the outcome you have done all you possibly can and I really hope that this turns out well for you x
 
Wow! How fascinating to have something so positive to keep you going. The only advice I could offer would be to listen to the positive people who are dealing with him, this will make you enjoy being around him (& them), which will hopefully have a positive impact on him. Good Luck x
 
Hopefully the radiotherapy will reduce the size of the tumour enough for them to operate.
Im keeping everthing crossed for you
 
Positive thinking is GO GO GO.
C'mon radiotherapy, shrink that bloody sucker.
C'mon Buzz, we're all routing for you.
Twiglet, we are all behind you and you are in our thoughts.
 
Sounds to me like Buzz now has TWO guardian angels! I'm pretty sure everyone will agree when I say he also has the whole of HHO behind him sending him tons and tons of healing vibes. Come on Buzz, you can fight it!!!! Xxx
