 Hello Family and Friends. As most of you already know, I lost my dog Ellie Mae to cancer just a little over 2 months ago. I did not know she was sick nor did she show any symptoms until it was too late for me to help her. Her loss after 12 loving years has left a hole in my heart and in my home. πŸ’” Her sister Gracie and I are trying to adjust to a new routine without her. 

About 3 weeks ago, after comforting Gracie during a thunderstorm, I found a lump near her shoulder blade. 😫 My heart sank and panic set it. Not Gracie too! 😭😭😭 After getting it tested, Gracie was diagnosed with a rare ,malignant cancer. Neoplasic subcutaneous carcinoma. We visited the Animal Cancer and Imaging Center in Canton yesterday. Gracie’s best course of action is surgery. They cannot tell me anymore about the cancer until the tumor is out and tested by pathology (MSU). At this point we pray that it is encapsulated and no other treatment will be needed afterward. πŸ™πŸ»

This cost is more than I can handle alone. Gracie deserves a fighting chance. πŸ’— I ask that if you could help at all -it would be so appreciated! Any and every little bit helps. If you cannot, I understand and just ask that you say a prayer for Gracie and share this post with your loving family and friends. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❀️. Gracie loves you all. ❀️

Hello Family and Friends! I am SO HAPPY to announcement that Gracie has completed her cancer treatment! Her bandage came off today and her surgery wound is healing. 
Gracie’s cancer came in from MSU pathology as a Grade 1 Lipocarcinoma. The margins looked good and it is unlikely to metastasize. We caught it early! 
Thank you to you all who helped me and Gracie. Your kindness and generosity cannot be matched. 
Please pet and massage your pups regularly. The Surgeon told me that I was lucky to have found it! 
Lots of Love, Gracie and Amy

Gracie is out of surgery and doing fine! She will spend the night at the Veterinarians office. I can call to check on her at anytime time. I will be picking her up tomorrow along with her specimen. MSU has agreed to do the pathology to determine what kind of cancer it is and the prognosis. My own Vet will send it out to MSU. We will find out after the results are in to see if Gracie needs any follow up care. Thank you all from the bottom of heart. ❀️
