Mandy had surgery on friday January 22, 2010 (the vet says allot of dogs have this type of cancer) to remove a large swollen mass located on the bridge of her snoot near the(right)eye. The mass was sent for biopsy and I won't know until Monday/Tuesday for the actual results. I know there's a chance for the results to be benign but the vet was very sure the mass was cancerous while he was performing the surgery. I just can't believe the symptoms suddenly started 3 weeks ago without warning. Runny nose, sneezing and coughing the first week followed by a slight bloody discharge at the end of the 2nd week with a nasty size lump near her eye at the bridge of her snoot. The regular vet (when it first began) assumed maybe it was the dry heat in the house etc but I'm very glad I acted quickly to have her diagnosed by a specialist. Please add Mandy to your prayer list and I will also pray for all the other canine ("family") members on the list.

Mast Cell Tumor
Message
Please pray for Zeus. He was stung by a bee and the bee left 2 stingers on the back of his right leg. This growth started to form and got really big and infected fast. We had the mass removed on December 1, 2009. I didn't send the mass off for a biopsy until the mass started to grow back. We just found out a week ago that it's a Grade II mast cell tumor and it's at a very aggressive stage. I went for a second opinion and the Vet gave him a 60% change of survival and he just underwent another surgery today to remove the tumors and will be starting Palladia a new drug from Pfizer that helps shrink mast cell tumors and stops blood flow to the tumors. Please pray for Zeus that he can beat this cancer and live to see his 7th birthday in February.

Message
Nicholai was diagnosed with lymphoma in January of 2009. At the time he was predicted to live between three months and one year (with chemotherapy and radiation), so he has just surpassed the best prognosis he was given. He is being treated with both western and Chinese herbs, anti-oxidant vitamins, a mushroom complex, digestive enzymes, and a small dose of natural hydrocortisone. He has NOT had any chemo or radiation. I have posted requests for prayers once each quarter, each time surprised and pleased that he's still with me. He hikes with me each day, rejoices in his meals, and snuggles with his plush toys. What an unexpected gift this year has been. The total plan seems to be working, so please continue to pray for him. For more on his story go to blogspot and look for Dead Dog Walking

soft tissue sarcoma
Message
Kindred just turned 10 years old this month. Two weeks ago, a large swelling on his side was diagnosed as a soft sarcoma. The surgeon could not remove the whole tumor as it had tendrils attaching it through layers of tissue. Kindred has been sick for several days, and just started eating again over the weekend. The prognosis is not very positive, though Kindred is tenacious. Please offer up your thoughts and prayers for this strong and handsome boy. He needs your help.
