Prayers for JJ

[dragondawg]

My dad just informed me that his dog, J.J. (11 yr old Jack Russell) was just diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer. He has a huge lump underneath his eye, that is to be removed next week. The docs do not think they will be able to remove all of the cancer & even if they can, J.J. will probably lose his eye. Without the surgery he has been given 4 to 12 months to live. The vet told my dad to be prepared for the worse case scenario. My dad and step-mom are devastated. They know that this is probably the end, but they love him so much. Please pray for J.J., and for my dad & step-mom. I know that they need all the good thoughts and prayers they can get right now.

Have your folks get a referral to a doggy oncologist. Chemotherapy is often effective against a variety of cancers, and side effects are often minimal to none with supportive drugs. It might be possible to extend the dog's life by a couple of years with treatment- depending on the type of cancer involved. Where the goal is a high quality of life. Again find a canine oncologist to discuss the various options. Deciding on a treatment may or may not involve financial cost considerations.

So very sorry to hear about JJ. I hope he beats the odds that the doctors gave him. Give him some love from me.
