Kayla Anderson, Eyewityness News 4; Taryn Bianchin, KOB.com An Albuquerque woman is devastated tonight after someone stole the dog that helped detect her breast cancer. Reverend Josephina Chavez put her 11-year-old Maltese, Contessa, outside Tuesday morning. A couple minutes later her neighbor came over and told Chavez what she had seen. "She told her, ‘someone just came, drove up to your house, picked up your dog and put it in the car’," retold Karina Mora, granddaughter of the neighbor. Chavez’s doctor certified Contessa as a service dog because she pawed at Chavez's chest before doctors found breast cancer. The good news is the dog is micro-chipped. “At some point or another, if somebody is bound and determined to take your pet, down the road, that'll catch up with them," said city animal welfare spokesman Rick de Reyes. It’s been four days and Contessa hasn’t returned. Chavez says if the dog-napper won't return Contessa, they need to know that she has health problems and needs special food. Chavez doesn't have money for a reward but says if someone wants to come forward one way or another, she'll pay whatever she can. "If you don't give her back, please take care of her. But, if you ever not want her, bring her back. No questions asked. Just throw her in the yard… No questions asked." [www.clipsyndicate.com | KOB Albuquerque]

When battling cancer you want the best technology can provide to aid in that fight. At Mercy Medical Center's Leonard P. Nelson Cancer Treatment Center in Williston, that technology is there...but more is now needed... That of course means more money is needed. This week a major fundraising campaign kicked off.. Perry Olson tells us what the millions raised will buy. (Bob Beery, Mgr. - Mercy Oncology Dept.) "The linear accelerator is our radiation delivery machine." It's a machine that can kill cancer...and it is time for it, to have a companion...but (Bob Beery, Mgr. - Mercy Oncology Dept.) "New machine ranges from 2.2 to 2.7 million." So that means it is time for some hard work...The Mercy Medical Foundation has launched a campaign to raise five million dollars. It will buy a new Accelerator, a vault for it to do its work, and a new oncology treatment area. (Bob Beery, Mgr. - Mercy Oncology Dept.) "Our volume is increasing. With the aging population and baby boomers getting older we are expecting more cancer over the next ten to fifteen years." And this campaign will help meet the needs of those people...but before then, the people of the region have to meet the needs of the hospital. (Kerry Monson, CEO - Mercy Medical Ctr) "Anybody who really knows anyone who cares about this hospital can be instrumental in securing those important gifts." The Leonard P. Nelson Cancer Treatment Center is at the top of what it can do each day with the current equipment...it is vital to make this improvement so that it can continue to grow... (Kerry Monson, CEO - Mercy Medical Ctr) "And we as stewards have to make sure that gets replaced before it breaks down or before the issues go beyond just the useful life. So we want to be proactive with that." And they are doing exactly that with this financial goal...being proactive and preparing to help more people beat cancer... (Bob Beery, Mgr. - Mercy Oncology Dept.) "We are staffed accordingly, that we can handle increase. Perry Olson, KX News. Right now the cancer center treats abo

Cancer patients in the Williston area need to continue to have state-of-the-art equipment to help in their fight against the disease. That's one reason Mercy Medical Center officials say they've begun a five-million-dollar fund raising campaign. Hospital officials announced the fund drive today - and said American State Bank in Williston has helped start the process with a pledge that could total more than two hundred thousand dollars. Mercy's current cancer care center includes a radiation therapy machine - but that machinery will soon need replacement - and officials say now is the time to raise the money for new equipment - and a remodeling project to handle an expected increase in patient-load. Acting CEO Kerry Monson says it's a big task. (Kerry Monson, Mercy Medical Center CEO) "Although five million is daunting, the purpose behind the gift and the fund raising is so near and dear to many of our hearts, that I think it's very achievable." Mercy officials hope to raise the five million dollars over the next five years. [www.clipsyndicate.com | KXMC CBS Bismarck North ]
