Positive thoughts needed for Brodie
« on: February 22, 2015, 02:23:41 PM »
Hi everyone,

Brodie went in for X-rays on Friday as she's been having problems with her legs (which we still haven't got to the bottom of). When the vet was looking at the results she noticed a pocket of air where there shouldn't have been and investigated. It turns out Brodie has a tumour in her anal gland :'(. It's been a total shock. I should find out if the tumour is malignant Wednesday/Thursday.

The tumour is still small (only a couple of mm in size) and if it is malignant it *should* be removed no problem, but sadly as the cancer is so aggressive it will almost definitely come back in (at best) a year or so. There are no guarantees though, my aunt's girl only lasted seven weeks with the same illness. It's not a fatty lump as there were cells present when the vet aspirated it.

The good news is her blood tests are normal, including her calcium levels - raised calcium levels are a big sign of cancer so I am hanging onto that thought :-\. Just can't believe this has happened, she only turns seven next month. Feel so relieved that it was found though, as it doesn't bear thinking about what would have happened if it is malignant and went undetected.

What a horrible shock. TRY not to worry till you know more: at least the tumor has been detected while it is very small. Sending loads of positive thoughts to Brodie and big hugs to you both.  :bigarmhug: :bigarmhug: :bigarmhug: :bigarmhug:  Diana xx

Brodie is so loved you noticed she wasn't 100% and persisted in finding out why and it's because you love her the tumor was found when it is so small.
Hoping as hard as is possible that it will be no more than an incredibly scary short period of time, a small operation and she will be fine.
