Thanks everyone, as an update, the tumor biopsy came back as cancer, we had the consultation with the oncologist this morning. After reviewing everything and examining Piper he advised us that the cancer was a rarer form of breast cancer in dogs. The oncologist advised that it is very aggressive and will most likely return or most likely spread to the chest/lungs, he advised chemotherapy. The oncologist provided us with paper work to go over at home and discuss and make a decision on what we wished to do, either wait and see or begin the chemotherapy. We have decided to begin the chemo , particularly because of how fast and large the tumor grew, and given the fact that the connected lymph node was clear and it hadn’t spread . We’re hoping the course of chemo will stop it at the site of where the tumor was removed. Thanks again for all the prayers and support.
Take care,
Tim
