I worry though I am a breast cancer survivor and lumps of any kind scare me.
Vet didn't tell you what type of benign mass he thought it may be? I mean, that's always nice to know. Dogs can have many, many types of bumps/lumps that are benign...but I'd kinda want to know what it is/was so I could know what to expect. Benign lumps can grow/change...just so you know.
