RobinM Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) Elsie was dropped off or surgery. She will have her pre-ops and as long as everything is OK- we will proceed. She should be 1st case of the day at about 12 PM. God willing, if all goes OK- she should be coming home around 5. Vet felt the lump which is like a marble in size. She will be doing a lumpectomy with 2 inch margins. Biopsy to determine what it is. She also felt other ""miniscule" lumps around other nipples that we can not do anything about now. She said the masectomys are not done for greyhounds. She also said that when the lumps are caught before 3 cm, there is a much better chance of it not spreading. This lump is well under 3 cm. She will have a 5 inch incision. Please say a prayer for my Elsie. Benign tumor and clean margins all the way around. No cancer. Please. We tried that once and we don't like it. It just has to be benign. I'm scared.

RobinM Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 Elsie is out of surgery and did very well. The lump came out easily. She handled the anesthesia and surgery well and is coming out of the anesthesia well. Biopsy will be back Wednesday. We will go from there. So happy it was a successful surgery. Of course, very unsettled feeling waiting for biopsy results.

Guest FLT Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Glad all went well with the surgery, and I"m glad you only have to wait until Wednesday for the biopsy results (that's very quick - although it probably doesn't feel that way!) I've got all my fingers and toes crossed that the news is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickiesmom Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Well the first hurdle is over - surgery went well and Elsie is doing fine. That is GREAT! Now we will wait with you for the biopsy results and hope they are completely boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
