Prayers for Blizzard.

The lump they removed was cancer.

This was the message relayed to me:

the tumor was successfully removed and there was clean tissue on the tissue edges.....
meaning they THINK they got it all...

However, Dr W cautioned that if even one cell was missed it will pop up in another part of her body...

This message was received via voice mail, so we still actuall need to TALK to the vet to see what is our next step. Will there be routine testing? How can we monitor her "condition"?

I will let you know when I know.

But don't they always say that, whether animal or human? I want Blizzard to be okay and I will keep praying for her recovery and freedom from the dreaded "C".

(Let's hope they got every single bit)

Oh Jen, I'm sorry that was the diagnosis ... but if they think they got it all, then chances are they did!!! We'll hope and pray for the best!

Hugs,
Kim

Hugs to you, Jen. This isn't the outcome any of us wanted to hear. My prayers continue for Blizzard that there are no residual cells. Of course you need to talk to your vet in much more detail about the prognosis. Prayers for you that the answers will be what you so desperately want to hear. Please keep us posted?

Even if they got it all, they will keep tabs on her for a while.

With any luck, if it was a slow-growing tumour, then time is on Blizzard's side.

Is she her normal self? Eating, playing, etc?


Prayers and hugs!

Blizzard is definitely active and playful and as sweet as ever.

I am not too sure it would be a "slow growing tumor" though considering how it wasn't there and then all of a sudden, WOW-what is THAT?!?!

[Catty1]

Glad to hear she is playing and all.

Apparently vets have a way of telling if a tumour is slow growing or not...how they tell, I haven't a clue!

I hope your vet has positive news for you!

HUGS!
