Please please please look at this

Just another note to share, our old boy "Chase" left this world today and it breaks my heart to say goodby. We rescued him via our youngest daughter in 1999 when she went to pick up lunch for herself & her co-workers at the Wendy's on Rock Quarry Road in Stockbridge, Ga. He followed her to her car, with only a shoestring tied around his neck and she could not leave him there. He was covered up in fleas and looked like a walking ball of fur. He has been this man's best friend for the better part of 14 years, I've sat and talked to him about my daughters growing up to my grand kids being born to my wife fighting this cancer battle. In the last two years he had almost lost all his hearing and the better part of his sight. Funny, when he was a puppy he was my daughters but as she grew up and flew the nest of home he & I became Bud's. Sorry to bore you all with this but I'm feeling about as down a man can be today. Got up this morning to find our clothes dryer had broken, I've thrown out my back and my wife is not feeling well so I got a coffee and went out back to see "Chase" only to find he was fighting with all his might to breathe, vet said he was at his last of hours and in much pain. I feel selfish for wanting to keep him hanging on and put of the inevitable and he is now gone...................... if my old dogs aren't in heaven then I don't want to go when it's my time. I've not meet most of you folks but you all are on my mind and in my heart. My wife and I thank you so very much.

My mother was just diagnosed with breast cancer this week and has already had both her legs amputated at the knees from unrelated issues. So this hits me pretty hard and makes me smile at the same time to see people helping out! My donation is in and prayers to all these women for good health and happy lives..............

Thanks Jbum..............

Sorry to hear that man. I will keep you guys in my thoughts. And will get in on this too.

See folks, people are basically good, not evil! And things like this are proof.
 
I was able to get my wife out to eat a second time this weekend, she had a rough day on Monday with much crying and a visit to her Cancer doctor. I still can't express how great you folks have made us feel, I hope to get her strong enough soon to get her out for a few hours of R&R and maybe post a few pictures - thanks Ya'll.
 
Update

We made the trip to see my wife's oncologist 06/05/13 and got great news, my wife was told to stop the cancer meds and that she is released - the caner is in remission !!

Then she was told to make her an appointment at the hospital since she was almost due for her next mammogram. She went for the testing, then eights days later she received a disturbing letter. Another mass the size of a thumb is show on the film. She was set up for another mammogram with extra definition and again they mass is shown. Next trip was for an ultrasound with another cancer specialist, again the mass and it's size are confirmed so they sent us to see a surgeon. The surgery specialist determined the mass too deep and too near her heart to do any type of "in office" biopsy procedure at his location and it was set up to be done in the hospital. Last Friday we spent over half a day in the hospital and after she was released from the outpatient recovery section we were told the test results would not be back on the four biopsies they did until late next week.

She has cried all weekend, she tells me she fears the cancer has returned and she will not be able to fight it this time. I'm a broken individual and powerless at this point. Not sure what next is around the corner, we married in high school and this November is 38 years for us.................................

thanks guys (and gals) for allowing me to express my thoughts - feeling boxed into a corner and almost out of ammo.........

I'll keep you both in my prayers. God has a plan for each of us and most of the time we tend to think things are way to unfair, but no matter how big or small there's always hope. Live each day like it's our last and always pray for today and tomorrow will take care of itself. If there's anything I can do, let me know. I ain't got much but I'll gladly give you whatever I can to help.
God bless you all.
