Yups.
Welps, unfortunately, Simon has cancer.
We found a huge welt of a bump on his leg about a month ago and we took him to the vet. And also unfortunately, the vet proceeded to tell us that he "didn't know it was" and that "surgery was an option". We decided to leave it for the time being, but it grew, and we finally took him in. After the surgery was done, it was then known that "oops, it was a tumor" and that it was penetrated too deep within the bone, so total removal was unable to be done.
So unfortunately, the cancer specialist didn't give us very good options with our dog. Pretty much chemo or amputation, since lucky for us, the cancer did not spread. His heart and lungs and everything else is in better than perfect condition.
I won't be updating very often for the next few while, since our family has a really important decision to make, and we're all very stressed out at this moment.
Thanks everyone for caring and asking, I apprechiate it all. I'll let everyone know what we decide.
But for now....all people with a dog...make sure you guys have a reliable vet...one that is honest and trustworthy. The consequences of having a crappy vet can be so very heartbreaking, stressful, and hard on your family and your dog. (Janet, make sure Lucky has a good one..)
Hugs,
Karen
