Prayers for Nebo and all paws crossed, hopefully it's benign.
Bear had a huge mast cell tumor on his abdomen when we originally got him. The lump was probably a little larger than a baseball, but no one had bothered to check it so who knows how long it had been there.The vet removed it and pathology determined it was an extremly aggressive form, in addition, the margins she was able to get were not the recommended standard to prevent reoccurence. We discussed chemo but decided the best course was to keep a close eye on the area. He still gets benign fatty cysts all over, which we have to have checked each time a new one crops up, but he's been cancer free for over 4 years now with no problems from it.
