A quick update.

He got throught surgery fine. I will be picking him up in about 2 hours.

It was a lymph node as suspected, and it is being sent for a biopsy. Could still be cancer, but at least it is out.

The vet also took a piece of the small intestine to biopsy (IF the other test doesn't tell us anything) This would test for cancer in the digestive track or IBD.

So, we are going to stop the steroid use and if he begins to feel badly there are other types of medicines to try (don't have those details yet).

But my boy will be home and in my arms very soon!
