Annie - December Patient of the Month! 🐾
Annie is a brave and incredibly kind girl who has been through so much since being diagnosed with tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma at the end of last year. She underwent a tonsillectomy and chemotherapy, and after completing her treatment, she went into remission - beating the average survival times. 💪✨
Sadly, over the last month, Annie developed chronic vomiting and required further investigation, including endoscopy and biopsies. Tragically, she was diagnosed with a primary pyloric carcinoma, meaning she must once again face a difficult cancer battle. 💔 The location of the tumour makes surgical intervention impossible, so she is currently undergoing chemotherapy and receiving supportive care as we focus on keeping her as comfortable as possible. ❤️🩹
Despite everything she has endured, Annie remains a cheerful, resilient pup. 🐶💖 She is a BVH favourite, having captured the hearts of so many of us. We are honoured to care for her and wish her all the best as she continues her treatment. 🌟🙏
