LACIE is Pet of the Month

We are please to spotlight Lacie Wanish as the February Patient of the Month!  Lacie is a very special girl, but her story is best told in the words of her mother.

“I'm so excited that Pembroke chose Lacie (aka Ladybug) as pet of the month ♥ I selected the photo that I think people should see - the blue markings on her face is the "radiation grid" they painted on her head for 3 months while we were going through palliative radiation for Lacie. Prior to going to NC State, I never saw an animal with these markings. Many pet owners are so afraid when their animals get diagnosed with cancer - hopefully when they see Lacie's picture they will see a friendly face instead of something scary or sad :) We joke that this was Lacie's first night away from home as a teenager without her parents and she came home with a tattoo!” For more on Lacie, her special story, and her courageous battle with cancer, go to Lacie’s Facebook page, Project Pink Paw.
