The first one showed hardly any cells, so she did it again. Same result, so she said if it was her dog, she would have it removed, as it seems to be attached to the chest muscle, and is pretty hard. We have Maxine scheduled for surgery on Thursday, Feb 10 at 8 am and they will send the lump out to see what it is identifued as, and take it from there. Marge is pretty upset, but I am keeping a brave face on for her, but it is also affecting me. We hope it is nothing. Maxine is almost 14, and in great health outside of her night vision deteriorating. One good deal after another it seems. While she is under, they will also clean her teeth.

Steve, I hope everything goes alright with both your fur kidz. Really sorry and sending good thoughts to you and your family. Elaine
