| Carlo has a growth on his liver Well, the trip to the Cancer Specialist for Carlo was a downer. I figured all of his tests and X-Rays would show nothing. Unfortunately, during the Ultrasound they discovered a growth on his liver. They aspirated it, and will have the results back in a few days. If it is Mast Cell Cancer, I will have a real tough decision to make, as I have to think of his quality of life, and am not sure I want him going thriu more surgeries and more Chemo. He is almost 11, and this is about 1 year longer than the average life expectancy. He was wobbly when he came out to me before I met with the Specialist. They really had to knock him out during the procedure. His rear legs were wobbly. Took all I had to lift him up into the Vehicle. I really am getting old as 140 pounds was never a problem. Then again, Like Carlo, I am also getting a bit long in the tooth. Thanks for all of your well wishes for the big guy. He is now in Marge's office sleeping. |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | I'm so sorry to hear they found a growth on Carlo's liver. Hopefully its nothing and Carlo will still have more years to come. You are a great dad and he knows you will do your best for him. I'll be sending positive vibes your way and praying the biopsy comes up with nothing.
