Niki's surgery completed, she's ok
« on: October 16, 2006, 06:46:08 am »
Some of you may remember I asked opinions and advice back in August about a lump on Niki's (my Pit Bull) leg and then my posting about the needle biopsy last month.
Niki has her surgery done this morning, the lump removed and to be sent to be graded. Hopefully it is a low grade tumor.
She is doing fine and will be home in a few hours.
Thank you for the well wishes, prayers and good thoughts in my earlier post.

Any news?

Nope not yet, they said it would be about 10 days for the report to get back.
It was mass cells we just need to know if it is a lesser type or an aggressive cancer.
I'm pretty optimitic as the vet says most come back a 2 (scale is 1 to 3) and most dogs never get another lump.

This is great news, hopefully Nikki will recover quickly and never have to go thru this again.

Niki had her stitches taken out yesterday.
He labs for the lump came back a level 2
So no further follow up unless another lump appears.
I was really worried about this whole thing.
Thank you all for well wishes, prayers and
helping me through this.
