Dear Friends,
Lucky had surgery this morning to remove the mass in her mammary gland. The mammary gland next to it was removed as well and the lymph nodes have been sent for biopsy, too.
Her chest x-ray was clear, so that's good; evidently cancers of the breast spread easily to the lungs in cats, as they can in women. I hope we are dealing with a non-aggressive form of cancer (actually, I hope it's not cancer at all at the biopsy of the whole mass; as long as I'm wishing, wish big, right?!) and that we've caught it early.
Thank you all for your good wishes and prayers for Lucky!
I'm going to exhale now.....
Love, Julie
