Skye's Diary

Health Scare

My mommy had found a small lump on my back leg last month. She made an appointment for the doctors, and they poked my leg with a sharp needle! "Ouch!" I said. when the doctor came back, he explained to my mommy that the lump looks cancerous. So I had to go back the next day for surgery. The doctor also took a biopsy of my skin and my ear because I have weird blue spots that the doctor can't diagnose. So now I am sore. But the doctor said the the lump hadn't spread to my muscle yet, and he is pretty sure he got all the bad cancer out. The doctor sent it to the lab to make sure, so I will hear back in a couple days. Hopefully he can find out what the blue spots are too, because my mommy has taken me to lots of doctors and no one has ever seen it before.
Oh yeah, and when I was at the doctors for my surgery, he told my mommy that we should maybe pull out all my teeth! Can you believe that! how will i eat? My mommy reassured me that she wouldn't do anything drastic yet. We are going to try a steriod treatment first to see if it will make my gums not so swollen and sore. But the doctor told me i might feel lots better without me teeth, so me and mommy are going to think about it.
