Hello all,
Cinders went in for chest x-rays on 10/27/06 the vet took a look at the x-rays and sent them to a specialist because he couldn't tell if the mass cell tumor spread into the long or not. We got results on 11/01/06 that her lungs were clear and that we were cleared to have the tumor removed on 11/03/06. I dropped her off on 11/03/06 and picked her up later that night. Everything went well they removed very large margins around the tumor but couldn't go as far down as they wanted to becuase it was so close to her muscle. "which they removed some of" I just got the biopsy results and they state that It is a Mass Cell tumor Grade 2 high. The vet wants us to see a specialist but I am very uncomfortable about putting her through anything else. I love her and want her to be around forever but at this point I think that she would be happier just to live her life out. They really didn't give me a prognosis on how long she might have but we are willing to bet that their estamate won't be right. She will live longer they would expect only because she is a fighter. Thanks to all of you for your support and Knowledge. I will keep you posted on her health.
