I didn’t get to talk to our vet today; but he did leave me a long message. I’m hoping to call back and catch him tomorrow.
The oncologist looked over everything and thinks that the 3 masses are the lymph nodes. We don’t know if they are swollen from him fighting off infection (he did have the infection on his other side after the amputation…) or if it is cancer. I keep reminding myself that they removed the next 2 lymph nodes when they did the amputation and both of those came back clean. Hopefully this is just residual of infections. The oncologist wants to get him in for an ultrasound and needle aspirate. On the message he said it could wait until next week. I don’t think he realizes that I won’t be back until the NEXT week. So I’m going to find out tomorrow if I should have my friend Maris or my brother take him in (both have offered, hopefully scheduling could work with one of them). I’ll let you know what happens.
Thanks for all of the kind words!
