[Jayhawk-chapter] A surprising occurrence

[Sidney]

Chikako,

 

Is am sorry I did not read this email in a timely manner - but I have talked
with you in the meantime, of course.  I talked with Susan this morning, so I
know that Comet's surgery was scheduled for this morning.  I don't want to
bother you with a phone call just now, but I wanted you to know that we are
thinking of you and Comet with love and wishes for a full recovery for both
of you !

 

Harlan and Sidney

Dear Fellow Federationists:

I must convey rather sad news which occurred very recently which greatly
affect my personal life.  Very recently just early this week my Dog guide,
Comet, was diagnosed with a type of cancer appeared to be "Thymoma".  The
effective treatment is surgical removal.  I am now talking with Kansas State
University Veterinary School Clinic to set up an appointment for comet. It
looks as I could set an appointment as early as this coming Tuesday morning
which I am shooting for.

Right now comet is doing fine.  She is eating and drinking well and being
pretty active that is a good sign.  However, I am predicting that it would
be a completely different story a month ahead if she goes on untreated.
According to comet's veterinarian, if she receives no treatment I will lose
her within six months (approximately).  I am asking for your prayer for
comet and myself.  There are many things I need to think of that includes
the best treatment for comet, expensive cost of the treatment, and Comet's
recovery which is possible if she could withstand the surgical treatment and
if a team of veterinarians could remove the tumor located in her chest
between her throat and her heart completely, not to mention my dissertation
work.  In a mean time, Comet and I both are fully intending to resume our
normal life as possible.

Please pray for us and I truly thank you in advance for your mental and
emotional support.

Sincerely,

 

Chikako Mochizuki
