Saw the vet and he has several swollen lymph nodes. Not good. He did a biopsy and right now we are just waiting on results. I won't have any news until Monday or Tuesday.
He said it is either an infection or worst case cancer. I am praying it is not cancer as I don't know what I will do.
He had a full work up three weeks ago with no infection detected so that is not a good sign
. He said if cancer he will refer me to an oncologist, however, there is no cure for this type of cancer and with medication/chemo only gives him so much longer according to him. Boomer is young but I am freaking out.
Additionally, even though I have insurance the cost of the oncology visits will be at least $150 - $200 each time and that is something I cannot afford if I need to go often. I know I shouldn't think of money but it is in the back of my mind. Because as much as I love him I also cannot go into more debt. I was saving each month for when his kidney issue would get worse but I just haven't saved enough yet.
He is my baby and I love him. I am a person that worries and has to analyze all the outcomes. I tried talking to family after the visit and all I got was lectured like a child and told how dare a vet give me the worst case scenario knowing who I am. I just needed to vent and maybe cry but of course, that didn't happen. It sucks sometimes not having the support needed.
