The word cancer is as dark and empty as the disease it defines. A diagnosis of cancer often brings with it feelings of overwhelming fear, a spiraling sense of loss of control, and most devastating of all, the loss of hope. This occurs regardless of whether the patient is a human family member or a precious pet. I know, because I am a veterinary oncologist at California Veterinary Specialists Angel Care Cancer Center and am given the honor of doing everything I can to defeat cancer in my animal patients with compassionate care. Like my fellow oncologists and colleagues at the UCSD Department of Radiation Oncology and Applied Sciences, I cannot stop there: I must do everything possible to discover and develop safe, compassionate and effective cancer therapies for pets and people. The disease can be stopped.
Please help us conquer cancer for pets, children, and maybe even you.
One of the ways is through this ride: Pedal the Cause.
Please give generously so others can live:

This non-invasive, fully-funded study is one in which we take animals that have lymphoma and willing families who are excited about exploring new opportunities that will enhance and improve the quality of life of a pet with cancer.
