 | |  | | I got a mast cell tumor in the muscle in the back of my neck six months ago. I had it removed, then the scar tissue inside never healed right and an infection was in the scar tissue and it swelled up last month, so they had to go in again and remove scar tissue. This time, they found NO mast cells. (YAY!!!) I didn't go through radiation or chemo. My mom knows how stressful the time can be. She said it really sucked having to think about putting a cost on my life. So try not to think about it like that. $2,000 + later and two surgeries later, I am doing better than ever. They even think the mast cell tumor was causing my allergies (they create histamines). My mom says the only thing you can do is to consider the options, weigh the risks benefits and make the decision that is right for you and your doggie. Also, consider the doggie's life and feelings, and try not to be selfish even though it's hard. It's probably one of the hardest things my mom ever had to go through because I was diagnosed two months after her childhood doggie died. |  |  | |  |
