@lbrockme I bet your pup has saved your life in more ways than you describe here!! S They are truly "Mankind's best friend"...I am facing some sort of malignancy in my right kidney , recently diagnosed via CAT scan...But because I had a severe kidney infection and sepsis, the kidney is damaged and must heal prior to the Urologist/Oncologist doing any further investigation. So I must be patient for 6 months. I know there are worse things than cancer, so I'm not one to pray for "no cancer". One only needs to read some of the patient experience with kidney issues to know that.
