On Oct 8th, 2025 I took Apollo to the vet after he started displaying lethargy and wasn’t eating; that day my entire world shifted as he was “pre-diagnosed” with lymphoma - the vet said he was 98% sure. 

Monday, Oct 13th was our first visit to the oncologist where they said it was either lymphoma or leukemia… either way, not great options and both terminal in dogs. 

Friday, Oct 17th it was confirmed my boy had acute leukemia. “The bad one” as the oncologist put it. 

Before his first appt I saw my active doggo start to shut down, not eat, not play, and look at me with sadness in his eyes. 

Since we got him on treatment however, I’ve gotten my doggo back. ♥️ he’s running, playing, catching his frisbee, cuddling and wolfing down food like a family of 3 teenage boys. I’m so grateful for you, Apollo. For this extra time. For you rebounding and more time that I get with you being you. 

Lord, thank you. I pray you continue to heal his body inside and out. I pray that if it’s your will, he will continue to fight this thing for as long as he can. I pray for a miracle. I pray as I lay my hands on him every evening and pray for these things that you would hear me and also lay your healing hands on him. I pray for the faith to be there for him, to get through whatever comes, when it comes. I pray for strength for him and for me. I am so grateful. Thank you. 🙏🏼
