I am happy to report it has been over three months since the diagnosis, and Samantha shows no signs of being sick. My vet agrees that it's possible the cancer was detected early enough and may have been completely removed with her initial surgery.
Thank you, Ann, for allowing me to tell of my experience and reiterate the importance of checking pets for any unusual lumps or odd behavior and to seek treatment immediately. Since our furry friends cannot speak for themselves, it is every pet owner's responsibility to do it for them. Garland, Texas Dear Garland: Thanks tor a letter that could save some feline lives. I'd like to remind my readers that dogs, too, can get cancer. Any lump that shows up should be investigated by a veL Early intervention could save the animal's life, mammary cancer.
While rubbing her stomach, discovered a small lump near one of her nipples. The lump was smaller than a dime. I took her to the vet, and surgery was recommended. When the' test results came back, I was told the cancer had already spread to her lymphatic system and would soon spread to her lungs. I was told most cats in Samantha's position lived Dear Ann Landers: My nephew, is about to be married, but his future mother-in-law, "Enid, is out of control.
My sister and I are at our wits' end. Enid insists that my sister pay the bar bill for 265 wedding guests, 250 of whom are ENID'S friends and relatives. My sister is only inviting 15 people. After hearing the number of guests, my sister told Enid point-blank that she and her husband simply could not afford it. Enid replied, "This is a very big event in your son's life.
Take out a loan." I should tell you that the bride's parents have already remortgaged their home to pay for the wedding. When my sister said they simply couldn't handle the bar bill, Enid told Rob that HE should pay it Rob explained that he was saving for a down payment on a house. Enid then said, "That doesn't matter. If your parents won't pay it, then it's YOUR responsibility." Enid's insensitive attitude is turning the affair into a nightmare. I know you are wondering what the bride and groom have to say about this.
Well, their reply was, "Let Enid have her way because this wedding is the most, important thing in her life." What is your opinion of this? Mess in Michigan Dear Michigan Mess: Your sister should not be bashful about telling Enid exactly how much money she can spend on the wedding. Also, she should make it perfectly clear that any additional expenses will have to be paid for by Enid if she insists on going over budget. Rob's future mother-in-law sounds like she could go bear hunting with a switch. I am not optimistic about this couple living happily ever after if Enid is allowed to run things. Dear Ann Landers: I just read the letter from "Salt Lake City," who wrote that pets can also get breast cancer.
My cat, Samantha, was diagnosed with an average of six months. My vet, who is a very compassionate woman, cried with me and advised me to enjoy the time I had left with Samantha. My three cats are like my SUNDAY, JULY 25, 1993 HAPPY BIRTHDAY! IN THE NEXT YEAR OF YOUR LIFE: Be a team player and you will reach the top of your profession. You are blessed with tremendous talent.

A friend's or acquaintance's social plans may prove too expensive for your Bodies can 'decondifion' as they age Dr. Donohue Syndicated Columnist i ifr I am Dear Dr. Donohue: Why does the resting pulse sometimes increase with age? Twenty years ago, my resting rate was 70 or lower.
With a moderate exercise program, I could get it down to 50. But of late it has been creeping upward between 85 and 90. My weight is the same. My blood pressure is OK. My diet is fine.
So is cholesterol. Why does my resting pulse go up? J.T.C. Answer: The normal resting pulse ranges between 60 and 100, so you are not in trouble with your 90 high. Your pulse history is common. Many well-trained athletes have pulses well below 60 beats a minute.
Their heart muscles are stronger and pump blood with greater efficiency with each beat Thus, fewer beats are required to circulate blood. That's what aerobic conditioning means. Aging presents a reverse scenario, a more or less natural deconditioning. For whatever reason lack of exercise, disease or gradual physical decline hearts can easily become decondi-tioned. It now has a weaker stroke, limited in delivery of blood.
But the body's blood demand remains the same, necessitating a greater number of beats, a faster pulse. From your longer letter, I presume two factors If a person is born with a good supply of so-called fast-twitch muscles, he or she is a natural sprinter. That person is able to marshal those muscles to deliver fast strides. Short-distance speed depends heavily on the number of steps taken over a given period, the stride frequency. But speed in general depends on both stride frequency and stride length.
So anyone can increase speed. You do it with drills, including quick-step running in place. Run in place, being careful not to raise the knees too high with the Eventually, a person learns the ideal stride frequency for his individual body. The goal in speed is to cover as much ground as possible without throwing the body off balance or having to lean too far forward or backward. Practice at slow speeds, then translate your stride form into faster runs.
Fast-twitch muscles or not, there's no facet of athletics that cannot be improved with training, Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him at P.O. Box 5539, Riverton, NJ 08077-5539. combine to explain your higher resting pulse: aging and less strenuous activity.
But don't despair. Don't be a slave to pulse numbers. They are only one health indicator. Let your doctor be an arbiter of your present state of health. If you have strayed from the path of fitness, you might want to get back on.
