Malchik’s Journey: A Triumph Over Cancer

Hello! I wanted to share that Malchik graduated yesterday after his 17th radiation treatment! 

We had some dicey weather with snow and ice and things were delayed, but only delayed and they were able to keep him on track! 

Here’s the photo they took to commemorate a truly joyous day! I’ve also included another photo of him, his day-to-day look amongst his beloved toys. 🙂

I’ve had a chance to gather my thoughts and put my appreciation into words for the help that Malchik received, if you have social media handles, please let me know, I’m happy to share them when I tell his story and will share your site as well. 

The assistance the Paisley Anne Foundation provided for Malchik made all the difference in him having a chance to beat this ugly thing we know as cancer. It allowed us to obtain the right treatment — and it made it possible to happen quickly. He received excellent care – and loving care – it was obvious his veterinarian radiation oncology team adored him, and he had the best time seeing them almost daily for 4 weeks. For me, knowing his bill was able to be covered was such a relief; everything I have been doing since July 2023 was to get him better, get him to the right specialists, have the right diagnostic tests, the right surgical path, and then once we knew what we were dealing with, the financial aspect was just as crushing as it was emotionally. To know what you’re facing, but feel you can’t even surmount a fight is a debilitating feeling. In the 10 years since I’ve adopted him, Malchik has added joy and laughter and love to my life every single day – and through the Paisley Anne Foundation, we now have the opportunity for not just more days, but years. I am forever thankful for their assistance in helping Malchik.
