I can't add anything to the posts before mine, however, I wanted you and Sampson to know we will be thinking and praying for you. 

Speaking with the specialist or even taking the test results to another trusted vet should give you somemore insight.

Wishing you all the best

UPDATE!!! Re: URGENT - medical advice needed!

I just wanted all of you to know that Sampson is having surgery this morning.

They will be removing some bone from his spine to free the nerve that is being compressed between the bone and the disk.  They will also remove the tumor from his leg.  The doctor is confident that he will make a full recovery and that this will take away the pain that he is experiencing.

I will post an update as soon as I hear from the surgeon.
They said he will be in the hospital until Monday.

Thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts and well wishes... 
BPO is the best extended family I could have hoped for.

Cowboy, Chester and I are sending you and Samson huge cyber hugs!!!  It sounds like the vet is very positive about the outcome....so all you have to do is get through the recovery!  I'm so glad it's being taken care of and he'll be on the mend soon!!! ;)

Kristi,
I am sort of new to the board, so I don't think we have had much interaction yet, but I have followed what has been happening with Sampson, and I just want you to know that I am thinking about you and hoping you are feeling ok.  It is a terrible feeling to have to take your beloved to the vet knowing that he is going to be hurting when he comes home, to worry about him while he is there, the sadness and pain around knowing that there is only so much you can do for him. 
I have my fingers crossed for him and have been thinking about you both all day. 
Hang in there and if you need a pick me up, I'll regale you with funny stories from when Badger came home from his TPLO surgery.

Kristi,
Sampson has the best mommy in the world! I am glad to hear you decided to have surgery! I see so many owners do the wrong thing. This type of Surgery when done by a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgen is very successful. I have done a lot of post surgery care for this type of problem.
Please follow Doctors order when you get him home!!! We had one owner let his Doxie run and jump up the stairs 3 weeks after surgery and caused more damage!

Good luck Sampson!!! Easy does it and mom It's ok really he will be ok.

If it helps at my Hospital us Technicians love the big, king size canines the most and they get extra special care and love and kisses from us.

LOL this is so true.  My dog is a beast at the vet, and yet when we went to pick him up, all the techs were falling all over him.  He was Hugh Hefner at the playboy mansion.  Getting all kissed up and cuddled, and 'oh we love big badger'.
He had this sheepish look on his face like he was embarresed by all of it.
