Sunny is our rescue's first rescue dog. Sunny is such a great dog and fits in so well with my dogs. He is now around 10 months old and I posted pictures in the rescue section, I think. Anyway, a few weeks ago he developed a big lump on his upper right leg. I took him to see Dr. B. She aspirated it a couple of times and sent a sample to the lab. The lab results came back with nothing unusual, but the lab suggested another sample be taken and sent. They also offered to look at the second sample for free. So, Dr. B. aspirated from a different angle and with a larger needle. The lab results came back today. There were spindle cells which means it's either Fibrosarcoma, Hemangiopericytoma, Myopericytoma, or a Nerve Sheath Tumor. Most of these are cancerous, as I understand it.
So, Sunny needs to have the thing removed and sent to the lab for diagnosis. The place where it is located will not be an easy one for Dr. B is close up surgically and may be a tough one to heal.
I cannot BELIEVE I'm looking at treating another cancer dog in less than two years. WTF?? Poor Sunny. He may be my foster dog, but I love him just the same. Please send him lots and lots of good thoughts that everything will be alright.
