Saturday, January 23rd – The lump
Abbey, Drake and I went to the off-leash park(forest preserve) to run and play. This is a weekend ritual. We had a fabulous day, lots of running and playing. We were home and resting when I discovered a lump on Abbey’s paw. Wasn’t quite sure if she had done something at the park or if this was something else, something worse. Either way, I knew I needed to act fast. The vet had just closed so we had to wait until Sunday. Took her in the next day and they aspirated the lump but they were unable to make a determination. So they sent it off to the pathologist. I made an appointment with her regular doctor for the following Wednesday evening. Hoping by then that the results would be back from the pathologist
Wednesday, January 27th – The Results
The results were in, it is a malignant sarcoma. My heart dropped, but I had to try and keep it together. There was so much I needed to know and understand. What’s next? They could not determine what type it was with the aspiration, they need a biopsy.
