Kerry Im so sorry to hear about Bruce, Im still here if you want to chat, I follow your posts. It always seems to be the way, when things are going great something happens to knock you back down to earth!
I had a Jack Russell who had cancer, they removed the lump and she was fine, it was on her nipple and apparently was the equivalent to female breast cancer, but she didnt need treatment afterwards and went on to live till she was 15, however I was warned that if she did need chemo it would be very expensive and ongoing so I had to make a decision what to do if the worst came to the worst. I hope Bruce will be ok, it will be difficult with a new puppy and a sick dog in the house, keep us informed on his progress. Take Care!
