Cathy sent word she is having surgery today. She was diagnosed with a melanoma and is getting it removed. She'll find out what stage at that time. She says it appears to be caught early according to the doctor.
Let us all send her good "cancer be gone" wishes!
Get well soon, my friend!

Thank you all for your encouraging words. The surgery isn't for another 2 weeks. I need chest x-rays & other stuff done prior to it. I will keep you all posted.

Cathy,
We will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers and wish you a very speedy recovery. Here's to lots of golden healing thoughts coming your way - like Charon said, kick that cancer to the curb! We'll be rooting for you every step of the way!
Sending lots of golden hugs,
Kami, Angel Mackenzie and Kobe
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!

Cancer be gone, cancer be gone, cancer be gone!!!! Best wishes for a speedy recovery and a great prognosis!
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

Get well soon Cathy!
