Jack's appetite is really picking up. He is even eating his DRY DOG FOOD Lordy, I never thought he would touch that stuff again after all his treats since surgery.
Feeling a little better about the biopsy report. Have got a call into Dr. Bommarito and I will be sure to let you all know what he says. Hopefully he puts a more positive spin on things.
Last night Jack reclaimed his place on my bed. For several weeks before surgery, he slept downstairs on "his" green velvet chair. But last night when we stayed at home for the first night, he moved Lily to the floor, where the poor little thing remained. So Jack is feeling better and getting into his old routines.
And for that I have all of you to thank.
Love and Huksy hugs,

Got a call from the surgeon yesterday, which is the first I have spoken to her since the surgery. I had inquired about the biopsy before I left. My phone actually rang, but it cut off befoe I could ask any questions. She wanted to tell me they had found live active cancer cells in the biopsy and how disappointed she was. I have found her to be a really pessimistic person so since the phone was cutting out, I could not really hear what she was saying except that Dr. Bommarito was disappointed too. I will have to call the hospital Monday and talk to him. He had told me the tumor looked dead, but probably there were live cells in the center, but the perimeters were all dead. Now I don't know whether they sound live cells on the perimeter. I am trying ot keep a positive thought, but I have been imagining all the cells gone and now I am scared again. Wish she hadn't called. Ignorance is bliss they say.
Today my favorite cousins are coming through town and I am looking forward to seeing them. Hardly ever get to see them anymore since Amy left Colorado State. So this will be a treat for me and mom. Her cat Bomber just went to the Rainbow Bridge last week, so I know she is sad. We can cheer each other up. They are the most fun people I know. I have another set of cousins on my dad's side who live in Atlanta, that I feel the same way about. It is nice to have such wonderful family.
Please all pray for Jack. Help me visualize that cancer away. You are so wonderful to care for Jack and me. God bless you.

You know I don't think I have stated strongly enough how I feel about all of you have come to Jack's rescue through this blog. He would be dead by the end of summer without you all stepping in to save him. I had exhausted any resouces I had. Without this blog and the kindness of complete strangers, I would have been desolate. So please remember how much you all mean to me. I know many of you are friends of family members, some old friends from childhood, others people who have no connection to me whatsoever. I can't tell you how much this has meant. And I know many of you have been supporting Jack and me since last fall. God bless you each and every one. Please pray for us.
On another note, my dear friend Joanna who started this blog to help me and Jack, needs some prayers, too. When she started this blog, I was totally unaware of what she was doing. Many of you know me and I don't even understand the least little thing about computers. It is a miracle I can post here! (Seriously!) Back to Jo. She has a wonderful little Westie with bladder cancer named Mike. He was diagnosed about the same time as Jack last fall. Mike's treatment plan was not as fortunate as Jack's, but Jo is caring for him every day. Some days are good and some days are not so good. But please everyone pray for her and Mike. She so unselfishly spent so much time helping me and Jack even through bad days with Mike. I love her so much and only wish I could be there with her and give her a big hug. Unfortunately she lives 3 states away. You see I have never met Joanna in person, but look what she has given me and Jack. May the Good Lord, care for her and Mike and I am personally praying for a miracle.
