I was diagnosed with cancer in 2001. After radiation treatments ended, I
developed sever allergies especially to animal dander. 6 months before
my surgeries and radiation, I developed asthma (currently on steroids).
All my doctors told me to get rid of my cats (all four of them) and my
ferts. I told all of them to go to hell! I view all of them as my
children, and would not give them up for anything. I made a commitment
and a promise to these babies and won't go back on it. Even if it means
me suffering everyday, big deal. Their are people out their suffering
more than me. And everyday I am thankful for all the love I receive
from my kids.
