I got some bad news today. A little history first, my 6 year old Boxer Cash had a growth removed in Nov. I was told it was routine that it was not connected to any tissue and he should be good to go. Well about 4 weeks ago i was checking him out and the scar was a bit bumpy but didn't look odd and just figured it was scar tissue from the surgery. Well it has come back with a vengeance. In 3 weeks it literally blew up. 2 weeks ago had to board both of my boxers because both my wife and son had procedures and it was easier on everyone to board them, I wouldn't have to lock them up most of the day and they could run around a play. Well after 8 days he comes back and the growth had probably quadrupled in size and a lymph on his neck was the size of a tennis ball that was not there before I took him in. Well yesterday I got him into the vet and it was biopsied, chest x ray was taken and blood drawn. Chest x ray was clear, kidney and liver function was normal according to the blood test but the biopsy came back cancer. He has not lost any weight he is eating normal and his stool is normal...other than the 2 lumps he is 100% normal. I don't know what type...the Dr. is foreign and I couldn't understand her but she said it is the fastest growing cancer there is. he goes in Wed to have the 2 masses removed by his normal Dr. then to oncology to see what can be done. I have him back on the Benadryl and Tagamet hoping to slow it down.
It's the worst feeling I have had since I found out my son had his issue last year. I know Boxers have issues with Cancers but I was thinking it would be a few years down the line. I have always fed him the best food I could find. He is the 1st dog I have owned and this just sucks.
Just wanted to vent...
