Help Mandee get Chest radiographs followed by mastectomy — Cedar Rapids, IA

Mandee was 7.5 when we were united in 2019, following the passing of my 13.5 yr old min pin named Little. At 13, she is very playful and loves (destroying) squeaker-toys. When she isn't planning her next attempt at manipulating me for treats she's busy stealing and taunting me with my own socks. She may be on a wanted fugitive list somewhere as a notorious thief!

Dr. Kaitlyn Evans, DVM at VCA Edgewood Animal discovered a 1cm mammary mass during Mandee's annual exam, and cytology indicates the high likelihood of a malignant mammary tumor. Dr. Evans explained the importance of making treatment decisions quickly, as mammary tumors can rapidly spread. She recommended starting with chest radiographs to evaluate for metastasis prior to surgical intervention.

I was wrecked when I lost Little in 2019. Little was also a min pin, she was also named Mandy before her rebranding and both had belonged to the same person before me. Their similarities end there, though! Mandee could sense my loss and grief when we met and is very emotionally intuitive. Now she needs me more than ever to be proactive and determined to give her the best care possible.

I earn just enough income to pay my bills and provide for Mandee's day-to-day needs. So when I'm hit with an emergency expense I have to scrape and scramble for help and loans from friends. I'm currently repaying on three loans from friends for a recent trip to the ER with Mandee.
