Continued Prayers for Cincy -Surgery #2 Stitches are out and all is well!

[Cincy'sMom]

Cincy girl is having another lump removed. This one is a large marble sized, and fairly hard on the outside of her left rear leg. The vet didn't like the look of it, and wanted it off, so today is the day. She is there now and I should have an update around noon.

Please keep the baby girl in your thoughts this morning! She's a trooper, but it doesn't make me worry any less!

Cincy will be in my thoughts. Will be watching for an update.

Prayers for a successful surjury & quick recovery for Cincy & (((Hugs)))
for mom.

Well that didn't take long....

The vet just called and Cincy is out of surgery and waking up well.

He did not like the looks of the growth at all and will be sending it out for pathology. Gross examination he felt it was a neuroma (nerve tumor) which from what I am reading can be either benign or malignant. We should hear something by the end of the week, so please keep the prayers up!

You tell Cincy I had a neuroma - acoustic neuroma in my case - and they removed it and I am fine. Deaf in that ear, and wobbly when tired, but otherwise fine!

Good to hear Cincy did well. I will keep her in my prayers.

Glad to hear the surgery went well. Now I'll be hoping the results of the growth come back with good news.

We got the results from the vet today...although we have not spoken with him we had a message, and the news was not as good as we hoped. Cincy does have cancer, a Grade II Hemangiopericytoma. The good news it is locialized (does not often dpread) and genreally slow growing. The bad news is they did not get it all, and it does have a high rate of reoccurance.

So, the message he left is that he is recommending we wait about a month, let the area heal, then go back in and try to get the rest. We have an appointment to get her staples out a week from tomorrow, so if not before I am sure we will talk to him in much more detail then.

From what I am reading online, a Grade I or Grade II is a managable long term. I don't know what degree of treatment she may need (and I am sure it depends on how succesful the next surgery is), but radiation, chemo or amputation may be eventual options or consideratons. Another thing we have to factor in with her is an enlarged heart, and while she has shown no signs of issues with anethesia so far, I don't honestly know if radiation, which requires daily treaments for 2-3 weeks will be a viable option for her.

Whatever the case, we will do what we can to keep her as happy and healthy as we can! So please keep up those prayers a more succeful operation next go round!

Here are a few sites I have been reading, if anyone is interseted in more details
