Not the news you may have hoped for, but good that it can be addressed and that the vet is addressing so quickly. Prayers going up both for Piper and for you!!! Many :hugs

Yes we do have hope now Sandy. Of course a epulis would’ve been better but the outcome would’ve been the same. I’m going to get Piper on more of a “cancer” diet, give him whatever is necessary to improve his odds and have a good quality of life.
Yesterday I ordered Chaga mushrooms to make tea (it’s amazing the cancer fighting properties this stuff has) and Lion’s Mane mushrooms and am looking for Japanese Knotweed (somewhat of the Chinese medicine the combination) and will be increasing the fresh fruits and vegetables that are beneficial to a healthy low carb diet. I know you bought the Forever Dog Life book but do you have their first book, The Forever Dog? Not as many recipes in it but it is full of information on how to improve their quality of life from different herbs to give, what vegetables are good for different things and what are the best supplements to use as well as a lot more info!
Today I’m taking Piper to the pet store…his favourite place to go!
 
Just wanted to give you some hope!
Gavin had a mast cell tumor removed from his hip when he was 10 (no treatment, his radiation was on his foot for sarcoma).
He lived until 17 (while I am sure it did spread eventually and was what killed him, 7 years is a long time).
and mast cells are highly metastatic (lymph nodes, spleen, liver....his probably went to the spleen or liver)

there are so many unknowns.....So don't pass on that trip to the beach, or hike, or road trip

Gavin was a marvel! I have lots of hope especially because of Gavin…Piper will do great! I just telling myself that. It’s the surgery itself that scares me and just all the unknowns.

Very best wishes for Piper-- I think it hurts more when they get sick than when we do...

Isn’t that the truth!
It was very hard dropping him off this morning! Especially watching him walk away, but I’m certain we’ve all experienced this!
I’ve made arrangements later for my brother in law to come over and put the other dogs away for when we come home. I find the other two tend to swarm the dog that’s been away (especially Blueberry) and I want to get him in and not have them checking him out. I will get him upstairs and into his pen and then they can see him.
I’ll be very busy today to keep my mind occupied!
