Thank you everyone for being so caring.
The vet has just rung. The tests are showing that it is almost certainly a benign lipoma, there were no malignant cells found. However, the vet wants to remove it as it is so small it will cause very little tissue damage and it may very well grow larger. Also Ellie is only 6 and healthy and he would rather remove it now than in a couple of years when it may well be larger and Ellie will be older. Also the lump will be sent away to be properly diagnosed so we will be 100% sure. So my little baby is going back into hospital on Tuesday for an operation.
I wish she didn't have to go back in but I know it is for the best, and I feel a bit better that even though she has to have an operation, at least it is on a harmless lump rather than a serious one, if that makes any sense.
You have all been so lovely in thinking about Ellie, but if you could just spare a few more thoughts for her on Tuesday we would be grateful. I will let you know how she is as soon as she is home.
Thank you again.
Gaynor & Ellie.
