Tricho who?

My Mom told me that I should really write more to everyone instead of just when I get sick or hurt! But I wanted to share with all of my furry friends what I've been up to. A few weeks ago my Daddy discovered a lump on the side of my head. Of course my Mommy freaked out instantly and was running around everywhere trying to find out what it was. I didn't even know I had it! Well, a few days later my Mommy asked my Nana if she could take me to see nice Dr. Bailey and have it looked at. Well, Dr. Bailey stuck this pointy thing in it and said that it had "organized cells," which at first really made my Nana upset and worried. But I could tell she didn't want me to worry...so she waited to call my Mommy until she got home. Dr. Bailey wanted to do surgery the next week to remove it ! Surgery!! Not again!

So, 5 days later, Dr. Bailey removed the mass on the side of my head. I didn't feel good for a few days, but everyone took care of me and gave me extra special treats. I overheard my Mommy telling my Nana that she was really worried about getting the "results" back from the surgery in 10 days. I was a little worried too.

Well, 10 days later, and Dr. Bailey called to tell my Mommy that everything was going to be ok. I had what is called "trichoblastoma" a cancer of the hair follicle. Well, it's benign and does not metastasize and that's all my Mommy needed to hear!!! Dr. Bailey said that it should not come back and that everything should be fine. So, now that I just got my stitches out...it's time to sit back and enjoy the TLC from all of my family and give lots of kisses back. I am going to be ok!!
