The battle against canine cancer in your own pup is shocking. You have to learn alot in a short amount of time to make some of the hardest decisions of your life for your best friend. Remember, you are NOT ALONE. There are always friends and family who will support you, don't be afraid to ask. The National Canine Cancer Foundation is also here for questions or just to tell your story and see that others are fighting along side of you.

Pictures is what I have left. I loved taking pictures and I’m so grateful I have so many! This was 13 years ago!! I can hardly believe it’s been that long and I still know exactly what she was doing. She was staring at a bird that landed next to the window. She had such focus on the things she was interested in. Emma was intense and silly. Her attitude was my challenge and I learned so much. We lost her to cancer 6 years ago but she is clearly still part of our family. Our kids who were toddlers@when she died still remember her and talk@about her. Cancer is mean but it can’t keep us from remembering all the little things that summed up to a huge love and a lot of Fun!

It's CHECK YOUR DOG day! Early detection is a big component if your dog is ever faced with a cancer diagnosis. This is why we put a lot of effort into this day each month. During your checks, if you find something suspicious, make an appointment with your vet to rule out anything serious that will need immediate attention. We are our dogs best advocate and knowledge is power. Check Your Dog cards are a great tool to help spread awareness on what to look for. You can find them at https://wearethecure.org/shop/check-your-dog-cards/ if you would like some to help spread the word.

Meet Phoebe through the eyes of her Mom Stephanie:
I adopted Phoebe exactly 6 years ago in March 2016 when she was 7 months old. I was at an extremely low point in my life; recently unemployed from my dream job, and in desperate need of something to fill the hole in my heart. Enter Phoebe. Once we got to know each other, we became soulmates. Phoebe and I both suffer from anxiety, but we know that with each other we are safe and loved.
One day I noticed Phoebe wasn’t eating much and was also drinking a lot more than normal. The next day I noticed her lymph nodes in her neck seemed enlarged. I made an appointment with her vet, thinking maybe she had an infection that we’d clear up in no time. After a very quick exam, the vet looked up and said, “we may be looking at lymphoma…cancer”. I couldn’t believe it, cancer was never on my radar. She’s only 6! I barely remember most of the next few days, but by the end of the week we had an appointment with a renowned oncologist who confirmed my worst fear: high-grade t-cell lymphoma. With aggressive chemo, we were facing maybe a year left together.
A piece of wisdom I would share is that you have to trust your gut. I saw a couple of things that were out of the ordinary for her, and jumped on it right away. I just felt like something was wrong. Early detection is KEY!
