I posted an update with more details here: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...&page=15&pp=15

Raven is scheduled for surgery on Friday. The surgeon was optimistic and does not feel radiation will be necessary, and that he believes he can get it with a bit of bone removal, possibly some of the teeth and that area the cancer is in.

Fortunately this also means the cost involved will not be as great as I had first feared. Originally they were talking about a partial jaw removal and reforming of the jaw using a rib bone, which would have been at least 4 grand and she'd had had to go to the U of M. As it stands right now, when all is said and done it should be under or up to around 1k total. I am not sure what people have sent but I believe you all have donated a good chunk of that at least, so it does not look I am going to be hit so hard with this. After having to pay out taxes and Raven's last surgery etc., I was completely out of any emergency funds, so you all have helped me more than you can know.

But as it stands I don't think there will be need for repeat donations or funding set up, although I won't know for sure until everything is done. If we do happen to have any extra left over I will send it on to an organization like IMOM. Thank you again, and please keep those prayers coming, especially Friday. The PT community is a true blessing.
