Good luck tomorrow. Stop torturing yourself by feeling them all the time. Wait and see what the vet has to say tomorrow. (easier said than done, I know). Just trying to calm ya down. Give us some news tomorrow ASAP!

Try not to worry too much, and I have to agree with everyone else.  Get away from Google!  I do the same thing; drives hubby crazy!  There is such thing as too much info and it sends you into a tizzy over nothing. 

Sending you positive thoughts!  Give your girl a big hug and let us know how she does at the vet tomorrow.

oooooooh-kay.

So, I took her to the vet this morning. As he was checking her out, he looked up at me, kind of pondered for a second, and then said,

"I hate the internet".

I said, "What do you mean?"

"Look at you. You're scared. The first thing you found on-line was malignant lymphoma, wasn't it?"

Damn. He's good. Anyway, so he felt her all over and said that actually, things seem OK. He said that all of the other nodes are just fine. He gave her a shot of anti-biotics and a round of amoxi. He wants to see her back next Saturday to see if that has shrunk them. If not, he's going to biopsy. So, we have a week reprieve. He seemed pretty positive, though.

Fingers crossed for my old girl. She was a trooper at the vet and EVERY SINGLE TECH came in and told me how wonderful I was for adopting her. I'm the lucky one, though. She's such a sweetheart. I'm glad that the doc things she's going to be OK. And thanks for everyone's encouragement, and I'm SWEARING OFF of Google for now.

(but not the wiki...have you guys checked out Mike Vick on the Wiki? Fascinating.)

Thanks guys. I'm still worried, but you should have seen her last night! She was running around all silly and just acting so...puppyish.

I'm wondering if she's been fighting something this whole time, and the antibiotics are making her feel better? The nodes are still huge, but she does seem to feel better.

Ok, so yesterday, I took Miss Mabel to work with me. Not my office job, my second job working at Tryon Farm. Tryon Farm is a "conservation community". Its basically a sub-division, but is really anything but that. Its 175 acres of restored wetlands, forest, prairies and ponds. Its really super beautiful.

Anyway, Miss Mabel ran, jumped, played and swam with Cabeza and her new friend Bailey, an Irish Water Spaniel.

She truly seems to be feeling 400% better. And, I mean...better than she has felt ever since I've had her.

BUT...the nodes are still like softballs. :(

I'm so glad Mabel is feeling better, a lot better! :D  Taking her to work with you must have done wonders for her spirit.  Your vet seems like a great guy, let us know how it goes next week.
