Willi's surgery during my trip to France was a relative success. Most of the
tumour in his neck was removed. However, since it is a bone cancer they were
not able to remove it all - as it originates at the cervical spine. Thus Willi
still has the cancer - osteosarcoma. He is back home and living in a large dog
crate in my bedroom - as he cannot run or jump for 2-3 weeks. He has a 8 inch
incision but is alert and eating and drinking well. He was excited to see me
Wednesday night upon my return and was fortunate I had some good friends take
care of him during my absence. The next step is determining a treatment plan
with my vet this coming week. The tumour was sent to NC State oncology
department and they will be making a recommendation for treatment - with
radiation and chemo possibilities. My vet feels the "90 days to live" statement
I received from my prior vet was off base based on the info she has though the
prognosis for a cure is not good. The positive was perhaps Willi has more
quality time left than I originally thought.

Thanks for everyone's support,

Magnus
