Help Bentley Fight Lymphoma: Support Needed

Story

My Sweet Bentley Baby is my 11-year old Maltese, who has been in my life since he was 6 weeks old. Bentley is loving and anyone who meets him instantly falls in Love with his bubbly personality. He loves everyone, playing toggle war, and most of all he loves playing fetch with a Ball, all day long with any guest, whether it’s the handyman or family/friend, this is how he welcomes you into our space. Recently, I was holding Bentley in my arms on Sunday 12/8/2024 , rubbing his precious face, when I felt strange objects, like a ball shape underneath his jaw on both sides of his face. I immediately felt that this did not feel normal. Bentley was seen by his doctor, first thing on Monday morning 12/9/2024. During his examination, the doctor diagnosed him with having Lymphoma, a form of cancer, and he observed a tumor on his chest wall and one on the back of his leg. I was absolutely devastated. I cried Sunday, Monday Tuesday, Wednesday, until I became ill and went to urgent care for myself. I know some people may not understand how a human can/could love an animal to this degree. I do not consider Bentley an animal, he has given me unconditional love, he is overjoyed when he sees me, I received numerous kisses, he’s my company, he loves to joy ride, hanging out the window enjoying the breeze. On yesterday, December 16, 2024, after leaving urgent care for me, I received a call from the veterinarian confirming it is the word no one wants to hear “cancer” whether it’s impacting a Human or your Pet. All, I know that I must be here for Bentley; he means a lot to me and he’s my best friend and he probably thinks the same about me. So, therefore, I am praying for support to fight for his life and to provide treatment Chemo, medication, and surgeries. He’s scheduled to start treatment on Monday, December 23, 2024. My present job (contract Job) consists of traveling and away from home months at a time. I notified my supervisor yesterday that I will not be able to return to work, that I must be here for Bentley. I want to fight for his Life, and give him a quality life, where he can continue to enjoy playing ball, running, walking, and riding in our car, while he enjoys seeing people and the wind blowing in his precious face. Please help Bentley and me. Please help me save my Baby….I’m not ready to let go, I know he has so much more Life ahead!!!!! Love Always his Mommy forever! Lawanica
