The main goal of the Lifeboat Foundation is to safeguard humanity
from problems in the future. Today we are offering the chance to save a
life today. It is important that we work to protect both
our present and our future.
One of our donors,
Mulege Armstrong, has
bone cancer. All donations made on this page will be used to save her.
Our goal is $2,500.
Update — Mulege completed her surgery with Dr. Davyd
Pelsue of Veterinary
Specialists Of Nevada on Monday, August 2nd and stayed one day for
observation.
She did have one tendon attached to the bone mass so Davyd
had to cut it and reattach it elsewhere. Her big bone mass that was
removed is currently undergoing testing and we will have results for it
within a week.
Her next appointment is Tuesday, August 10th at 9:30 am.
Davyd
is a certified bone surgeon and was recommended by
Brian McLaughlin of the Community Animal
Hospital for this difficult problem. Here are some
reviews of Davyd!
Latest update — Mulege’s large mass that was removed has been
diagnosed by Cynthia X. Bacmeister, DVM, Ph.D.
She says:
Description: The lesion is comprised of a well circumscribed focus of
osseous metaplasia. There are hematopoietic elements. There is a
fibrous capsule surrounding the focus. There is also periosteal new
bone deposition arranged parallel to the surface of the mass. There is
also locally extensive chondroid stroma along the
perimeter.
Microscopic Findings: Consistent with osteochondroma.
Prognosis: Favorable.
Comments: The lesion is well circumscribed and completely excised.
Excision should prove curative. Distinct epithelial elements as might
occur in association with a mixed apocrine tumor are not observed.
There is a normal maturational progression from chondroid to osteoid to
trabecular bone with normal hematopoietic elements within the
intertrabecular spaces.
Mulege’s next appointment is Tuesday, August 17th at 9:30 am. The
histopathology by Cynthia is quite favorable but do note that the mass
was growing out of control, hence the need by the surgeon to cut a
tendon plus for Mulege to have to stay overnight. If we had waited a
few more months, removal of the mass would have become difficult.
Mulege has now moved from a giant bandage/cast to a small bandage but
she is still wearing the cone of shame.
Final update — Mulege’s leg looks normal, she is no longer
wearing the cone of shame, she no longer needs to wear bandages, and she
has been declared fine at her final doctor’s appointment on Tuesday,
August 17th at 9:30 am. Her cut tendon has been declared healed as
well.
