Thursday 22nd<\/sup> September \u2013 Sort of good news<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, I did let our Mistress change some of my dressings on her own yesterday and I was also better behaved at the vet. I had to have blood taken and they couldn\u2019t get it from my leg so had to take it from my neck. Then I got a haematoma on the site they\u2019d tried to take it from on my leg so ended up with another bandage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At last there is some sign of improvement in my wounds. I\u2019m still on antibiotics and they still need dressings, but tomorrow I shall have the rest of my stiches out and I may be able to go without the dressings, which I would really appreciate. I\u2019m still going to have to wear a collar for another week or so until everything is completely healed but they are now going in the right direction, so as long as I don\u2019t do anything silly things are improving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve had the results of the tests and they are a bit mixed. There\u2019s good news and not so good news. The two on my elbow were not cancerous and so were nothing to worry about. The ones under both my armpits have now been checked too and both appear to be fatty lumps so again no concern. However, the one on my paw is not so straightforward. That was a possible low grade sarcoma, which is a type of cancer. On the bright side, it is not completely confirmed as one and if it is being low grade makes things better. On the down side, where it is made removing it hard, so we now need to monitor the site to make sure it doesn\u2019t come back. Whilst it\u2019s an odd thing to be happy about, overall we\u2019re quite relieved as the outcome could have been much worse and now we just want to get back to some sort of normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for all your love and thoughts,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
