Miss Cruella had an oncology appointment last week at UT. It had been two months since her last checkup there. The doctors did x-rays, ultrasounds, biopsies, and all sorts of blood work to look for recurrence of cancer. I am happy to report that there were no signs of cancer for the second checkup in [...]
