Poppy Time

Tomorrow Poppy will undergo surgery for a tumor on her leg. About a year ago, she underwent a similar surgery for a lump that turned out to be cancer. While it’s not at this point a definite that this tumor is malignant, it’s probable, especially since it’s in the same place. The vet says he has every reason to believe this can be successfully removed but my biggest fear is that it can’t be. I’m over freaking out about whether it’s cancer or not…I believe it is. I am terrified of knowing my Poppy is going to die and my home will become a doggie hospice. So send good thoughts, dear readers!

    poor puppy 😦 and poppy mommy!

  3. Thanks! Poppy-hagen has been recovering really well. She doesn’t seem to be in any pain and the incision point seems to be healing nicely. Last week, the vet said the tumor was grayish in color but that what he saw under the microscope appeared to be fatty cells, a goo preliminary sign. Comprehensive lab results will be forthcoming this week.
