Chris, sending prayers that Beckon's surgery goes OK. I hope Dr. Shelli's prognosis is correct, though I know its sometimes hard to tell from the pictures.

I'm doing pretty well. Since Dr. Shelli showed me that website, I'm so much more relaxed. I have a very strong feeling that we're looking at a histiocytoma -- it just makes more sense. I'm going to wait until Monday night to email Alexandra -- I'd rather she have the whole story all at once.
Beckon's surgery will be tomorrow morning -- probably between 0900 and 1030. You have no idea how much I appreciate all of your prayers. Maybe I'm being a bit dotty about something small, but this is my Big Boy we're talking about, the one and only Colonel Underpants!!

I love the juxtaposition of these two photos... One lovely, formal photo... and one, uh, not-so-formal.

Never ever feel that way. We mom's worry over everything big and small and it does not matter how small the problem could be or not be it is still a worry. A while back Maggie had a interdigital cyst and it did not require surgery but it worried me all the same. Those are great pics by the way and love Colonel Underpants!!! Prayers being said for your Beckon.

Will be thinking of Beckon tomorrow morning. Sending tons of good thoughts.
Jazz once had a small 2mm round raised mass on her stifle. I saw it one day and the next day it was 3x the size. The mass came off so fast it would have made your head spin. I thought mass cell too. Turned out of be a fibrous nevi(scar tissue that she irriated somehow) but it could have been something much worse and I wa relieved. So I can understand.

That sounds very much like what my friends sheltie had, hers was at the base of her foot and she had to have a toe removed. She is doing great
This was her histiopathology.
Source: Limping with a mass involving the M3 area. 4x1x1 cm.
Examination of this foreleg mass reveals a discrete round cell neoplasm. Round cells show plasmacytoid mophologic features with round to oval eccentric nuclei and moderate to abundant amounts of basophilic cytoplasm. Resection is noted complete.
Diagnosis: Metacarpal Mass: Extramedullary Plasmacytoma...no atypical or malignant tissue is seen...Lumpectomy should be curative, borders clean with no extension seen.
