After consulting with oncologist, Dr. Ascher called. Tina is scheduled for surgery on November 6th. Since the tumour was not on the ear canal side close to the brain, Tina will not have radical surgery if it was. The area where the tumour was will be removed, margins, is the word Dr. A used. The vet she spoke with, said this is what he would do if it was HIS cat. And I trust Dr. A. Tina will be going in for the pre-op bloodwork and EKG on November 3. The results coming in the next day. Tina is going to be allright!!!!!
