Urgent Prayer for Roxy the Dog

From Jaclyn:
Please pray for our Roxy. She was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer (Hypertrophic Pulmonary Osteoarthropathy) after 3 long months of testing. The doctors gave her 2-6 months to live. Her tumor is growing. We've been doing all of the research we can...most doctors have never seen her condition. We found a surgeon who feels she has a good chance if we remove the tumor in her lung. Tomorrow morning she is having surgery to remove the mass from her lung. The surgery and first 24 hours after will be critical. We rescued her 9 years ago from an animal hospital. She is the most amazing companion to myself, my kids, my parents and my brother. She has gotten us all through tough times in our lives. We love her dearly. She is peaceful, loving and sweet. She is still playing...still eating and still fighting. The disease causes swelling, bone growth and pain in her limbs. If the tumor is removed the swelling will go away and she can enjoy another year, two years or more with us. Thank you so much.
