ringy,

You are back!!!!! Wow...how are you feeling? I sent you a letter in the snail mail this week.To the Meridian Address.

How is Missie. well thnankfully she is eating pretty well and she gets up and goes to her litter box and comes out for lovies.

I spoke to the vet this afternoon and they are going back to the lab where the results were from since they seem to think ( the lab) that it is a fibrosarcoma from injection site. Well it is not an injection site..it is near her throat. she is hyperthyroid so they are going to look at it again and determine if it could be related to the thyorid which I think is what Missie's doctors think...in any case, the oncologist at the labs and the pathologist are going to see what this may be and then suggest a course of therapy. If they do surgery it will be what they call debulking which means getting as much tumor as possible. They can't go for wide margins because the neck area is so small. but it they get the lump out and find thyroid tissue in it then they know it was a thyroid cancer and will indicate what kind of therapy should follow if any. Radiation is out of the question here since there is no facility here. It would mean trips to UC Davis which is a long trip. The other is chemo and it would be a once a week thing and Missie would have to be under sedation as it is I V given..and could she stand this.

the interesting thing is that Taco's literature said he should have radiation and or chemo and he has had neither and is doing fine.

So I am hopeful that we can do something for her. In the meantime, I am praying to a few favorite saints and asking for a miracle.

and how are you and what are the boys up to? I have some aviation stuff I think they would like. I'll email it to you. Neat airplane stuff.

I got your email about Missie .. I know how special she is to you and hoping that all will turn out well. {{HUGS}}

Yep, looks like the Ratty stopped by for a little tease .. it's been a good week for old friends .. now I just need to read the whole thread to figure out what all has been going on.

I've been kind of busy with Mike and the kids. The girls have been playing the lying game lately about not having homework and studying to do, last minute projects that they knew about and never told me when they were suppose to.

I kind of figure what they have been doing, but didn't have hard facts to nail their sorry butts .. until today

Jessie tried hiding a test from me today .. and well .. let's just say .. the neighbors may have heard be yelling .. I was pissed off to no end and let them know it.

Needless to say .. they are in, they are not allowed to use the phone, all books will come home and we will reviewed every damn thing they were taught since school started AND they have to write a report for me to look at of what they learned.

Then there is this girl scout crap .. I've really tried not to complain about Jessie's Troop Leader because she giving up her time to do this for the girls .. but these last minute plans or changing of plans and not telling some of the parents is NOT flying with me .. Grrrr

Well I best stop ranting before I bore you to tears.

Plus I still need to pay some bills .. Oh fun, joy joy
