Apocrine Sweat Gland Adenocarcinoma?

[makenna]

Thank you.  He doesn't really like strangers, so I'm always tickled when people comment on him being nice or sweet.

Coming off the anesthesia was really hard for him post-ultrasound, so I think I'm not going to pursue chemotherapy for him. I may talk with my vet next month when he goes in, but I'm just worried that all of the visits + the potential for side effects wouldn't be worth it, as I'm not really sure they can tell us that it will truly give him more, good quality time. It's really hard for me to just sit back and not intervene but I just have a gut feeling this is in his best interest.  :'(

Deciding to not intervene will be incredibly difficult.  The vet may be able to give you some guidance.  You should go with your gut, you know him best and you will make the right choice for him. Of that I am sure.

Agree entirely with ejp. Throughout  our dog?s lives we have to make so many decisions on their behalf and its rarely easy, especially when you?re being offered other opinions  but no one knows your dog better than you, you know deep down what?s best for him, so follow your gut.
Sending good wishes

our Gemma had a super scary mammary cancer. we removed the offending titty before we knew it was cancerous ( due to upcoming holiday and not wanting to wait ) Her scans and x-rays  showed no further growths and vital organs clear. Chemotherapy was not deemed necessary . Unfortunately  cancer took her exactly 12 months later with no symptoms or warnings. its unbelievable but true, our Gemma gave us nothing to suspect what was going inside. she woke up one sunday morning with a look you knew instantly that something was up. a hour later she was put to sleep with full body cancer .   Its hard to decide what to do as far as treatment goes .  But it looks like you will have time to enjoy and make more memories . We did not get that time, and it hurts .Not to have had the opportunity to be told take her home and love her for the next however long  has caused us the greatest pain and regrets. 

the mass on the spleen not super scary would concern me despite the vet saying different. They are like doctors, you go with 2 problems but they only deal with one and its the one they ignore  that just sits there  festering.

Thinking of you and your pup, they rely on us to make important decisions for them and they are happy to go forward with our decisions because they know we know best and despite it breaks our hearts they love us for it
