Tanner, my 9 year old yellow lab, had to go in for surgery this morning. The cancer he had 4 years ago is back and it was the size of a baseball when I got him in today. They took out what they could, but it has spread into his lymph nodes. Rather than do chemo and radiation, (which would make him sick and maybe only buy him an extra month), we opted to just remove what could be removed and keep him on medicine for pain and antihistamines to help possibly slow any regrowth. We will keep you posted. He will be at the vets overnight for pain management.
