Your life can change with a blink of an eye.
I went for my routine check-up, I thought all was fine, until I listened to a message on my telephone the next day stating he wanted more tests of my chest. So the following day I was off to get a pet-scan. Right after the I went back to the Doctor's office and that's when the hard slap on my face happened..."I have bad news and good news, he said, you have Cancer but it's treatable. Wow, why did I deserve this, I rescue and take care of all types of animals, now who is going to rescue me? I was on the merry-go-round of Doctors. I was never sick a day in my life and the only pills I took were vitamins. I had many tests performed in which the Cancer did not spread. I am very lucky. Next I was admitted to the hospital two separate times for exploratory procedures, which all the results pointed to having my lung removed. I have a very good surgeon and he presented my case in front of a "Tumor Board" and he received opinions from a lot of Doctors and it was remove the lung. Wow...would I be able to breath with only one lung? What was my future going to hold? They really take a toll on one's life...but you got to do what you got to do. I'm a survivor and I'll make it. I remember my last words to the Doctor before the operation...please save my life because I have too many animals that need me, he said, "You'll be fine." The only thing I can figure is that God wants me to do something...I know to save abused and neglected animals, but perhaps, build my animal hospital.
