I previously mentioned in a daily thread that my sister got bit about 8 years ago by one of her ferals when she was taking her to the vet to be spayed. Although she treated the wound, she wound up in the hospital with a bad case of cat scratch fever and lost the use of her right arm for several months until drug therapy and physical therapy helped her regain it. They recently did an MRI of the same arm because it had developed a very painful lump and they found that the bone contained one of the cat's teeth so they did surgery yesterday to remove the tooth and file down the bone mass.
When they got inside and had a look around, they discovered that Nance had a tumor as well so they biopsied it and have determined that she has osteosarcoma which is a form of bone cancer. My parents have left today to be by her side for a week while she figures out her options. Anyway, Nancy could use your prayers, I understand the survival rate of this fluctuates between 50-85% depending on how advanced it is. My parents are extremely upset, and at their age they should not travel, but are going anyway. (MY father has failing health and my mother has a heart condition) Any prayers spared would be welcome.
Thank you
