Raven's cancer *Final recheck, pg 38 (post 568)*

[K9karen]

I feel so sick. I was praying for a different diagnosis. I'm so so sorry. But I'm a firm believer in miracles and pray that beautiful Raven will overcome this. {Hugs} to all of you.

Jess,
I am sorry I have not managed to respond until now, but please know that my prayers and positive thoughts are with you both.

Jessica, I too am a firm believer in miracles. My Mandy was one. I will pray to God and St.Francis that Raven will win this battle. I will keep you in my prayers also. {{{hugs}}}

I am so very sorry to hear this news. You both are in my prayers and I will continue to send postive thoughts your way, I dont know either of you very well, but you both from what i have gotten in your post seem to be very special, God brought you both together for a reason, just trust in Him and He will get you through this along with everyone here.

Prayers for a miracle. I do believe. I've seen them. Hugs to you and Raven.

I replied to the thread Vela started, too, Jess...but I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you. And praying for the best possible scenario for young Raven.

Just got back from the vet. They did not get all the cancer, and it is beginning go grow back already. Pathology told him it would not be able to be excised, it is too deep. He is calling the University of MN to find out what our options are, but it will have to be something radical in order to stop it from metastasizing if she is to have a chance. Best case I am hoping for is if they think radiation will be effective. He also said we may have to remove part of her jaw.

My whole body feels sick and numb. God help us through this please.

I know there is nothing I can say to make this better for you.

I had completely forgot about a dog I grew up with, named Pooter. She was my neighbor's dog, rescued from a young age like Raven. Pooter developed the same sort of Cancer that Raven has, almost in the same spot, too. It's blowing my mind right now because it's so bizzare that it's such a similar situation. I had forgotten about it until now.

Pooter was around 8-9 years old when the tumor began growing and was fed horrible food. The vet said she'd probably be gone within the next year because of the cancer. Pooter lived to be 16 YEARS OLD.

Now, if Pooter did it, so can Raven!

Kay, your post brings tears to my eyes. What a lovely story to share right now.

YES RAVEN! You are far too young and you can do this!

[cyber-sibes]

A great story, Kay! A good reminder that just cause "they" say so, doesn't mean it's so.

((((hugs))) to you and Raven. Treatments have come a long way, and it seems like your vet wants to pool all his resources to give her the best chance. Raven doesn't realize she's sick, so she's going to keep going one day at a time, giving all the love she has to you. Love is an amazing healing force. Please know your PT friends will be praying for her and sending you both loving vibes.

Great story Kay. That's the way we all need to think to get this girl through this. Everybody please keep praying as hard as you can for Raven, Jess, and the T's. With our constant prayers, we can help bring them through.

She's young and she's strong enough to fight this off. Come on Raven girl!! Get better sweetheart. Your loving Mom, brother, and sister, need you! All of us here at PT need you too.

What an uplifting story Kay. Jess, I really dont know what to say to make you feel better, I know your world has been turned upside down at this point and time. You have ALL our love, support and prayers here on PT. My thoughts and prayers are with you and beautiful Raven every day. (((Hugs)))

I am so sorry about all this. It just stinks.
{{hugs to you both}}
