Th...Hi, Kristina - Thanks so much for your comment. Thank goodness Tucker's mass did not turn out to be cancer. What a huge relief. <br /><br />The vet did a needle biopsy which ruled out infection and identified cancer cells. I opted not to do a more invasive excisional biopsy and have it sent to Iowa State to determine the exact type of cancer (it's most likely squamous but could be another type) because the vet is concerned about putting her under to do even that type of biopsy. He lightly sedated her to do a series of detailed x-rays and I could see the tumor clearly, with the bone being destroyed. It's heartbreaking. I've been in tears every day since her diagnosis. Hug your kitties, Kristina!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230118372789434756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24228744.post-22322658782080406952017-03-19T08:26:41.463-05:002017-03-19T08:26:41.463-05:00I'm just reading this now and I'm so sorry...I'm just reading this now and I'm so sorry. Did you have it biopsied? Three years ago, Tucker was thought to have had cancer in his jaw and had a cyst coming out between his teeth. We got a second opinion, the area was biopsied and it was a raging infection and within a week, the cyst was gone. Tucker lost some teeth over the whole thing but he's still alive....diabetic, but still here. I'll be thinking of you and Tinsel.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11050860320495673605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24228744.post-89999297544215523612017-03-10T14:51:53.078-06:002017-03-10T14:51:53.078-06:00Thank you so much, Judy.
