    Infantile Vulva

    My Renie had this surgery about 5 years ago and it was worth every penney. The amount of $$ spent on specialists, tests and treatments for the continual infections the two years pre-surgery was far more then the surgery. Renie's was done at A & M vet school small animal clinic and was $1400. Once she healed (about 3 weeks) she never had a problem with the area again. I'm not sure how many vets are really familiar with this problem since Renie and I went to several, including specialists, who did not recognize the condition.

    Sometimes I think the hardest thing in the world is to say no to treatment. We humans equate that to giving up, and we don't like to give up.

     

    That's exactly right. Neither the surgeon nor the cancer doctor said that she would be cured. The surgeon painted a more bleak picture for us because the lymph node has been infected. He also said the other feels that it's infected too.

     

    I DO feel like not having any treatment is giving up but after talking with the surgeon it feels less like that. I know this cancer will take her because it's infected the lymph node so badly, and both doctors agree about that issue. She is not experiencing pain and nothing internal is infected. The lymph nodes are what's causing everyone the most worry. They would have to remove the tumors on her side and have one looong stitch and remove one lymph node and now possibly the other.

     

    I'm not sure she would want to spend half of her life healing from these surgeries and the other recovering from chemo.

     

    You will make the right decision for her. :grouphug
