    Cincy had her staples out this morning, and the vet said the area is healing well. He feels that although this is an aggressive cancer, since it does have a low chance of spreading, attcking it with surgery is the best approach. He gave us the option of doing another surgery in about 5-6 weeks to go in, remove any un-neccesary tissue in the area and try to completly knock it out that way, or wait until it grows back and then go back in. Rough estimate was that it would be 3-4 months when something may reappear.

    We have decided to go after this aggressively and not wait to see if it comes back. So, January 9 Cincy will be going in for another surgery. I'm not sure I completely understand, but it sounds like he will remove the skin and all the tissue he can in the lower part of her leg (think your ankle area). He will leave enough to not effect the blood supply and this should not interfere with mobility. Excess skin from the upper leg will be folded down to cover the area.

    His thought is becuase it does not have a high liklihood to spread, even if we had to go through a few more surgeries that was the best approach. He uses lasers, and can section the tissue down to the bone if needed. He can be more precise then radiation and there is less risk to damaging the bone that way.

    So that is where we are. No surgeries for Christmas, and early January should get things all healed up well before Spring Dog Park parties!

    Sounds good, I cannot imagine much of anything keeping your "lowrider Lab" down for long! She'll be in our prayers.
