Hi, this is my first posting on this site don't know my way around yet, this one caught my eye as i am an animal lover especially dogs. I had a large scc removed from my forehead about 6 months ago had to have two ops the second one for the margin and having such a large cancer was told i was high risk which came as a bit of a shock as was always led to believe i was medium, to cope with all this my little ShiTsu Betty who is 10yrs old has been such a help, just sitting and stroking her and also some of the funny things she does has taken my mind off things for a while, I would highly recommend to anyone suffering they are a fabulous comfort. Hope all goes well with all of you
