Thanks Rachel.  That's very encouraging.  So glad to hear your girl is doing
well.  We're very anxious, and it seems to be taking forever to get a
surgery appointment, but at least now we have the pre-surgery testing
appointment.  We want to get it done, but maybe there just aren't enough
vets, or maybe it's not so urgent as we think. 

Thanks all for your thoughts and prayers.
Tracy

Hello, Tracy:

We are sending lots of good thoughts your way. Demi had a mast cell tumor
removed in June, so I can definitely empathize with what you are probably
feeling right now. Her vet is confident that she removed all the cancer,
though we had also thought it was just a cyst for awhile before having it
removed. Demi is doing very well now, but I am now extra vigilant when it
comes to her lumps because there is a higher chance of her developing
another mast cell tumor.

Please feel free to reach out if you ever need to talk. I know that it is
not easy to hear news like this. I will keep you and Krokus in my thoughts
and prayers.

Rachel
