Update on 5 Month Old Puppy with Cancer

Just wanted to give an update on the 5 month old puppy with cancer. Good news - her bloodwork came back normal and the cytology reports of her liver and abdominal lymph nodes came back normal. The first two hurdles have been successfully cleared. Her diagnosis is a Grade II, Stage I. She continues to be on Benedryl and Pepcid AC. She is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday, 10/16. Hopefully, they can get clean wide margins.

Thank you again for all your support and input. It has been very helpful and educational. It still just amazes me that Benedryl and Pepcid AC (or Tagamet) would be the drugs of choice for MCT.

I'm so glad to hear that the puppy is doing so well. Let's hope for clear margins and a long healthy life!

Wonderful news. The meds amaze me too!

Prayers for successful surgery and clean margins and, as said, a long healthy life from here on out.

Appreciate your keeping us updated.
