This is NOT a yorkie thread, but y'all are so nice, I thought I'd ask for some prayers for my sister.

A week ago this past Monday my sister had to have her lab-shepherd mix , age 13 put down. He had been her constant companion since the day she rescued him from death row at almost 2. She was devastated and still is.

The same day, she went for an exam for a breast lump and they told her at least a 75% chance it was cancer. Yesterday she went again for a mammogram and ultrasound and they said now 90% sure it is cancer.

She has a biopsy this coming Tuesday. Unfortunately she is in FL and I'm in NM. She doesn't want her younger daughter (26) to know as that DD is 10 wks pregnant and has had miscarriages. Her older DD is getting married in July.

My sister watched her best friend and the friends mother both die from breast cancer and is very scared. She had not gone to any Dr in over 15 years until about 2 years ago.

So, if you're of a praying persuasion, please send one up for her.

thanks
Julie
