On 'My Ugly Duckling,' Bae Jung-nam's dog Belle faced yet another crisis.
The news of Belle's cancer was heartbreaking during the SBS entertainment show 'My Ugly Duckling' aired on the 20th.
Bae Jung-nam's expression was tense. Belle was once again in danger. It turned out that a lump had grown to a noticeable size on her side. The identity of the lump was a malignant tumor that developed in the skin and muscles. She was diagnosed with cancer.
Three years ago, Belle, who was diagnosed with complete paralysis due to an acute neck disc, showed a miracle by walking on her own after Bae Jung-nam devotedly trained her for 1 year and 7 months without giving up.
However, misfortune struck again with another cancer diagnosis. The tumor was gradually growing. When Bae Jung-nam asked, "If we leave it as is, will it metastasize?" the veterinarian replied, "The lump will start to calcify," and indicated that recovery would be impossible if the tumor were not removed.
If she were in good health, the tumor could be removed, but Belle's heart wasn't good, making the risk 100 times greater. This was due to the possibility of sudden shock from general anesthesia. If she could safely get through the general anesthesia, the tumor could be removed, but local anesthesia would only allow for superficial treatment. However, the risk of recurrence with local anesthesia created worry. Bae Jung-nam, deep in thought, looked distressed.
Bae Jung-nam, with a troubled expression, called someone. It was his close friend, Eom Ji-won. The conversation about Eom Ji-won's dog, which had unfortunately passed away during anesthesia for surgery, deepened his concern.
