Well, it came time for our aging rescue d-thing's yearly.  He's doing better
for a going-deaf, arthritic, near blind, on
steroids-to-keep-him-from-itching dog.  A week or so ago, we noticed a hard
lum on his bum (right were he sits, but only on the right "cheek").  TED
said, considering his age (15!!!) we should have it out and biopsied.  So we
did (they also removed a smaller one from his ear that's been there since
we've had him), and are awaiting the results, but TED said it looked
cancerous... :(

I guess all we can do now is keep him comfortable until.... :(

Do what you can to help him enjoy any good days he has. My thoughts
are with you and the purrs of my little friends, and Bear's tailwag,
are with you and yours.

It isn't unusual for older dogs to have slow growing cancers that really
don't cut into their quality of life.  If these lumps are indeed malignant,
I hope they still aren't a problem.

Old dogs also tend to get lots of lumps and bumps that aren't malignant.

Years ago, Rex, RB18) had a tumor right on his anus.  Removing it was like
a hemorrhoidectomy  but he did very well.   MLB

Older dogs very often get lumps and bumps and growths that don't
really mean anything (or they're so slow-growing that they're not
really a problem...) For that matter, so do older humans! Here's
hoping that your d-thing's bumps were of that nature...

Purrs are on the way - for him, and for you!

Purrs very much on the way. And Miss Lily Whiskers is sending some
head bonks too because she especially likes dogs. :)

IT'S NOT "CANCER"!!!!!!

An email this afternoon from TED says:

Good News
The tumor we removed from Max was benign

MICROSCOPIC FINDINGS: APOCRINE PAPILLARY CYSTADENOMA.

PROGNOSIS: Favorable.

COMMENTS:
This neoplasm is benign. The mass is discrete, well-circumscribed,
multinodular, encapsulated, and appeared completely excised. Surgical
excision is curative.

I was just going to send purrs for it to be non-cancerous, and it is!
I'm so very happy for you all!
