Molly, my seven year old Border Terrier, has a lump on her left front leg. Antibiotics didn’t help so, hoping it was merely a benign fatty deposit, our vet went in to remove it. The mass was all through her connective tissue … so he took a few pieces to send off, and closed her back up again.
Soft Tissue Sarcoma … Grade Two.
Welcome to Tripawds. We’re sorry to hear about Molly’s diagnosis but glad you found us. You’re never alone here.
Welcome to the club nobody wants to join. I’m so sorry to hear about Molly’s diagnosis. Scary stuff, I know. Major also had a grade 2 STS (fibrosarcoma) in his left front. Although it’s not a fun experience for anyone, you’ve found the right place for support and info. This is an incredible group of Tripawds and pawrents so feel free to ask anything. Somebody is bound to have an answer for you.
