Bad: The check engine light came back on in my car. I figure it's just that burnt fuse again? Car is running fine, so???
Worse: I don't even want to say... 
One of our dogs, Sasha, has cancer.
Last weekend I could feel her lymph nodes were enlarged. All of them and that's not good. I was hoping it wouldn't be serious because she's been feeling fine, normal. She's 7 years old.
I took her to work this week and we did a biopsy. The results came back as Lymphoma.
Without treatment the mean life expectancy is two months. With chemo the average life expectancy is one year. We would need to take her to an internal medicine specialist at one of the large referral hospitals for chemo. I spoke with one of the oncology specialists from the closest hospital (10 miles) and there are several treatment options. The best option costs upwards of $5k to $8k. **long exhale**
We are all so sad.
Even more so because we just lost a pet.
Bad(ish) and Worse
