I just found this thread. I'm so glad that George is recovering well from his surgery. When you see the vet Monday, ask what the chances are that the tumor could re-occur, and what symptoms you would watch for. "Conditions are favorable for a complete recovery" sounds great, but I'm sure you will rest easier if the vet gives you more specifics!Originally Posted by captiva
I got a call from the vet tonight! He said the lab results confimed it was a mast cell tumor and that it "appeared well defined" (I suppose that means contained?) and that they believe that we got all the affected tissue and conditions are favorable for a complete recovery. I wish they could say - "Yep. All Gone! Forever!", but I know that is impossible. He gets to go visit them again on Monday to get his stitches out. Thank you everyone for sending all your prayers and vibes for George. Now I just need your vibes so he quits chasing Mama and biting his Meowmy. He is feisty.
