| Newman's Biopsy Came Back - He Has Cancer. Hi Everyone. Just wanted to say thanks again to everyone that posted good thoughts. We received the news today on Newman's biopsy. We are devestated. He has a mass cell tumor in his foot. It's very rare and it's aggressive. We don't have any options really. They are unable to go back in and remove anymore of the tumor due to it being on his foot pad and no where for them to go without amputating his whole leg. We opted not to do this because there is still no guarantee and due to the fact that he has a collapsed trachea and he's ten years old. Our other option was to put him through aggressive radiation treatment, but again there is no guarantee. From what the doctor has said, it would be more then likely that the tumor would still grow back. Newman is feeling great right now. Probably better then he has in a long time, so we've opted to keep him comfortable and let him live his life as he's doing until we see that it's time to let him go. Again, thank you to everyone. This is so so very hard. Elaine |
