robinw Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 We've decided to cancel the biopsy since Dr. Couto's second email seems pretty decisive. We've going to concentrate on pain management.

robinw Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) I think there's been a misunderstanding. We decided not to do the FNA because no matter what the results (which don't seem completely reliable), nothing would change. We're going to manage Phene's condition with meds and keep him comfortable for as long as it seems the right thing to do. He's doing really well today. He's eating his meals with the help of chicken broth and wants to play. In fact, he was digging a little while ago. Thanks so much for so many good thoughts and please, keep em coming Edited May 26, 2011 by robinw Xavi the galgo and Peter the cat.
