Some of you followed BG's two rounds of surgery due to cancer. I discovered a new lump on his side Sunday. It is not open and weepy like the others. It looks very similar to the fatty tumor (non-cancerous) on his chest. I'm going to watch it for a few days before taking the next step. My vet is great. If I send her a picture of the lump she will let me know if I need to bring him in.
Please keep us in your thoughts folks. |

Just got back from the vet. The lump is a tumor. Vet said it is NOT another mast cell like the last two. She took a sample and is sending it to the lab to determine what kind of tumor it is. Results will indicate what type of treatment he needs. It will take a few days to get lab results back. Meanwhile I am trying not to freak.

Thanks Kitty. He does not seem to be in pain. He is his usual goofy self. Eating, sleeping, etc as normal. Had the zooming in the yard this morning.
I am trying to follow his example. He's not worried about what the future holds. Trying to emulate him, but not very successful. |

No call from the vet about lab results. She's good about calling. That tells me she does not have a report yet.
I am struggling not to panic. Am only partially successful. The lump is getting bigger. |

Poor BG, I know he’s oblivious but still, it sounds like yet another surgery.

Heard from the vet. Turns out the tumor is a mast cell and higher stage than the others. He goes in tomorrow to start steroids, surgery is next Tuesday. She said if it comes back again surgery will not be an option.
Thanks to everyone for all the good wishes. Please keep 'em coming. |
