    It sounds like the surgeons did a wonderful job with such an invasive surgery. Hopefully the biopsy results will indicate where to go on the radiation.

    As a medical professional once told me, "I am the expert. You are the boss."

    Hugs and prayers going out to you and dear Oliver.

    Thank you. The surgeon feels they got clean edges unfortunately we think this is a particularly aggressive form of this type of cancer so they are not sure how much time we were able to get.

    If you ever think twice about getting a dental cleaning because of the cost DON'T. We found this cancer only because he went in for a dental cleaning. Otherwise there would have been no signs or symptoms until it would have been too late to do anything.

    Sounds like the surgery went very well, and we hope the radiation oncologist will have some promising ideas. Prayers and loving good wishes for dearest Oliver and you.

    You have bought you and Olive extra time together. That alone is worth it. Who knows? Maybe they got all of it and you will have precious Oliver with you for a long, long, time.
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!
