greg1229 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 The Test Results are Back... Unfortunately I will be sending Bijou across the Bridge soon. Blood work came back and she has a borderline Grade III Mast Cell Tumor on her inner right thigh. It has enlarged to the point were the blood is not circulating back up from her foot. The vet said if the tumor was a lot smaller we could probably remove it and do mass amounts of Chemo, but at almost 12 years old she isn't sure how well she could even tolerate the surgery and Chemo with the size the tumor is now. I have to let her go soon, but deciding when is the hardest. She can still walk around ok, but not putting a lot of weight on the leg. She is still a happy girl to see daddy when I come home. But she is losing weight even though she is eating. And she does seem to spend more time alone in her favorite spot in my bedroom. I'm thinking maybe another week or two, however I don't want to wait until the leg becomes dead weight and she has trouble getting up and down. After losing Isis last year I am not looking forward to letting Bijou go this year but I can't be selfish and put her through unnecessary pain or suffering. Now I just have to make that final decision. I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers.
