Melena,

I know how you feel. Besides my two children, my Rottie, is like my first born child. Just after I was dx my husband found three lumps on Titan's back and chest. I was so terrified, me and now my dog. But thank God it turned out to be fatty tissue. Again this year we found another massive one on his chest, right now we are considering having it biopsied, even though the vet assures us its a fatty lump. Im just a little nervous over it and I want to be cautious. I think I can deal with my own cancer better than his. He has been my friend that listens, lets me cry and rave on and just replys with his licks and paws. Sometimes our pets are just as comforting as our human family member. So what have you and your vet decided with your dog? I hope everything turns out for the best.

All the best to you and your mom also.

Dawn
