Bandit went to the specialist today. He took two radiographs. The dr. said that he doesn't look ready to die yet!! He has a rare malignant skin lymphosarcoma. He vet said that there are less than 10 dogs in the world who have this condition. I still don't know what the technical name is or even if they have one. The vet is in contact with all types of drs. and vet schools so my parents are getting a lot of imput on Bandit's condition. They don't have a clue how quickly it will overcome him. When his breathing gets bad, though, they will drain his chest cavity to relieve the problem. So, all in all, the news is a guarded OK for now. Little miracles, I'll take them!

Thank you for all your prayers!
