That light at the end of the tunnel?

Nope it's not an oncoming train! Figured it was time to update on Buddy's situation. He wasn't doing very well and the doctors had me wrapping honey on his tumors as the ones on his legs went necrotic (rotting from the inside out) and it was spreading up his leg into his muscles and they were concerned about his lymph nodes. They didn't want to operate because he was so sick, and we got more tests back on his lungs. And they ended up not amputating his hind legs (thank god)
His lungs are gonna be okay, so that isn't a concern. Yay for small miracles :) Small awesome miracles. The tumor in his chest was still a problem though so I kept on wrapping him up everyday with honey (which made him think I wanted him to self amputate as much as he kept trying to eat those damn bandages.)
He got better tho and made improvements and was in surgery on thursday. To my distress on thursday though he didn't wake up from surgery, and the vet kept him overnight and friday because he wasn't doing very well. But he finally did get to come home and this weekend has been alot of painkillers and bandage changes, but he is the happiest I think he's been in a while having all those icky tumors gone. The tests showed those tumors had like 6 different types of bacteria in them @.@ and 3 of em were about the sizeof golfballs, like hte one in his chest. It didn't look that big from the outside but they showed me after the operation and I couldn't believe that was in my Buddy!
Anyway I didn't want to update until things were looking stable and better. As it's been a bounce jauncy road. In short tho Buddy is doing slowly better on the road to recovery and we might have another year or so of his wonderful company if we are very lucky, which I hope we are, I'm really not ready to lose my Best Bud :)
Anywya thanks to everyone who has been so supportive and understanding during this I know I've been just a joy to deal with.
You peoplz is awesome.

The stuff with me you can read over at my post (which my e-mail says you just looked at while I am typing this) and the dog has been more energetic. He's no longer having a hard time going up stairs, he can play for more than 5 minutes before needing to rest, and seems to be a lot happier too.
