Dog-Loving Oklahoma Woman Diagnosed with Breast Cancer

Wilson, Oklahoma - Catherine Titus has been giving her family of 100+ abandoned dogs everything she has had for the last eight years while living in a dilapidated van outside Wilson, Oklahoma. Of course, it wasn't much. All she had was her social security income, but the poor woman was spending most of it on dog food. After caring for her "babies" until she could no longer afford to feed them, Ms. Titus requested help from a local animal shelter. Since that time, Catherine has become quite a celebrity. She and her dogs' plight have been aired around the world on CNN News, BBC, Animal Planet, and numerous local Oklahoma televion stations and newspapers. In addition, ZooToo.com and other Internet animal rights websites have written articles about her.

However, it is now time for Catherine Titus to focus on taking care of herself. Today, she received the lab results of a biopsy taken last week by Dr. Scott Carpenter, DO, a general surgeon in Ardmore, Oklahoma. Dr. Michael Carnahan, M.D., reviewed the lab report indicating the lumps in Ms. Titus' left breast are the result of invasive ductile carcinoma cells. As always, armed with a positive attitude, Catherine is fearlessly determined to win this fight against breast cancer. She is scheduled for a surgical consultation with Dr. Carpenter on Tuesday, April 28.

As a result of the worldwide publicity last January, animal rights groups throughout the state have assisted Ms. Titus in caring for her pets. Walmart and Tractor Supply donated some petfood. An Oklahoma City veterinary group spayed and neutered most of them. Since that time, all of her pets have been either spayed or neutered. Any diagnosed with heartworms or other ailments have been treated, as well. Most of her canine orphans have been adopted, but roughly 40+ dogs remain. With a heart as big as Texas, Catherine is very concerned for their well-being. She can hardly bear the thought of them being left to fend for themselves if something happens to her. Since Catherine will be unable to care for her "babies" as she begins the battle for her own life, she makes a sincere plea to any interested persons to contact her.

Ms. Catherine Titus can be reached via the first weblink provided. There is also a guestbook for anyone wishing to send her well wishes. I hope you will take a few moments to let her know you will be praying for her.
