As some of you know, I lost my Boxer Mercedes last year to Canine Lymphoma which is Cancer throughout her lypmh glands. It was aggressive and took her within 6 months.
Recently, her sister Gretchen had a lump on her leg, they took a sample and said it was Cancer.
She is young and strong enough for the surgery so they removed the lump from her leg.
They sent it out to be tested and it was discovered that the Cancer had spread to the surrounding tissue which means there was no clean tissue and we dont know how far the Cancer has gone.
She is 7 and acts like a puppy...we are not sure when the Cancer will show up again or how soon but I am somewhat happy that it is not as aggressive as what Mercedes has. So I am keeping my fingers crossed and I am going to make the most of my time with her now that I have a heads up on what may come.
