Hello friends.  

It hurts me to have to talk about this, but as some of you know, Bodie has developed a mast cell tumor (cancer) in his leg. The location is a very difficult one, meaning they can't get the right margins to remove all of the disease with surgery alone. His post operation options will be either chemotherapy or amputation, depending on the level and spread of the cancer. His post op bills will likely range from $4000 to $8000. Anyone who knows me knows Bodie means the world to me. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much.

I will keep everyone updated with his progress as much as possible.

I would also like to thank my mother, Phyllis Melton, for all of her support for Bodie and I.
