I worked from home on Wednesday waiting for Meg’s aspiration results to come back. At 4:30pm I decided that the results must have got delayed and turned my phone back onto silent, only to miss a call from the vets at 4:34pm. Called back and was told the vet would call me back when she had the chance.
Still feeling nervous, I headed off to a function an hour later, telling my partner (Tim) to get in touch with the vet clinic and have them call him instead. Another hour or so later I check my phone to see a message from Tim saying “let me know when you can chat” (about Meg’s results). That was a heart sinking moment. You don’t have to chat about benign tumours… after a few messages with Tim and reading the pathology report we got emailed the results were in. Inconclusive whether the tumour is malignant or benign, it mostly looks benign but there is a few rare, small, areas of cells that could be malignant.
The path report said to take a biopsy, and I guess the vet figures when a tumour is only 1cm or so big, just take the entire thing out. So surgery is needed again for poor Meggypeggyposis. I’m a little relieved that the results seem kind of positive, or at least not entirely negative. I mean, if it is a malignant cancer, at least we won’t find out until the tumour is already gone, and by the time we find out Meg will be cancer free again hopefully.
Fingers crossed for our budget, and more importantly fingers crossed for Meg!
WOW!!× JUST CATCHING UP MEG! WOW!, Not sure how I missed all this!
First of sll, glad the vacation worked out well after Meg’s tumble! The vacation pictures show a very happy gal…two very happy pups!
Love the one of Meg on the “suitcase” all,packed amd ready to go!!
And then mocing onto the “lump” and sll the crap that goes with it. Ugh! Your plan really does seem to be a good one to take care od the “situation”, whatever that lump may, or may not, be!
And that picture of Meg all comfy on the squishy pillows and blankets………….ADORABLE!!!!! She is so darn cute!!😁
And that is THE best example of BEING MORE DOG….MEG BEING MEG…..NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD😊
Send lots of pawsitive energy to Meg❤ Update when you can.
Extra doses of hugs
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Thank you Sally! Yes I’m so glad dogs just get on with things and Meg’s fall didn’t ruin the holiday.
And thank you for reminding me about being more dog! Meg isn’t phased about this lump and won’t worry about another round of surgery once she heals from it, so I’ll try not to worry about it either. She seems a little more energised and happy now she has started her heart medication, so I’ll just enjoy that!
Love to you and the pups!
Well that is frustrating as all heck, I’m so sorry. But at least your vet has a plan and it sounds like a good one. Say goodbye to that old lumpy bump and hello to a healthier Meg!#
Keep us posted on how she’s doing. Glad to know she’s got more spunk these days.
