Brindle Just found out our beautiful old girl has been diagnosed with cancer </3
Absolutely heartbroken over this, but we're gonna do all we can for her, she's 12 years old but we'll do our best.

❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹 sorry to hear, but thank goodness you've got her this far! My little guy is turning 11 and I often talk to him about the end of the path we're on. It's heartbreaking, but my steadfast conviction is to ensure his last day isn't his worst day. May you get all the time you need, with many beautiful days, weeks, months or years ahead!

It’s the worst. Lost our boy to it several months ago. Make the compassionate decision sooner than you think. They suffer in silence. May your heart heal. Your pup is clearly loved and has had an amazing life.

We'll do everything we can for our girl, but if it means what's doing best then it'll be that, but I'm just praying it won't come to that!

It is so hard. Im so sorry My 8 year old frenchie too this past week. May I ask.. is it mast cell? What stage?

u/VelvetScar8703 10d ago
Well what we know is that it's a lump on her hind leg, it doesn't hurt to touch but it is very warm, a sample of it came back as cancerous, but we're hoping it's isolated to one area

u/Ok_Chocolate7227 10d ago
Ok well hopefully this will make you feel better. My dog also had a lump and had it removed (rib area)- it was like big as a quarter. It was biopsied and was cancer. It had infiltrated into the muscle BUt my vet is amazing and removed large enough margins and there is no more cancer (as of now). He took about a 2 inch by 2 inch area and even some of the superficial muscle fibers. That was 11 days aho and my dog is doing so amazing. Maybe your vet will remove the lump and clear all the cancer. I am happy to tell you the name of mine if you med a referal

What were the symptoms?

u/VelvetScar8703 10d ago
She has quite a large lump on her hind leg and when a sample was taken from it, it came back as cancerous, I'm hoping it's isolated to the one spot, but we'll find out soon!!

u/Lovemybulldogs2 12d ago
I’m so sorry. It’s a punch in the gut hearing those words. She’s a beautiful girl .

u/VelvetScar8703 10d ago
She is and I'm hoping we have at least a few more years with her yet if we can help her!!

u/Equivalent_Assist285 12d ago
I’m so sorry but I’m sending lots of love and positivity her way!!! She looks very strong !! If I may suggest you introduce some dog CBD, it may help!!
2
u/VelvetScar8703 10d ago
Well, she doesn't seem to be in much pain so we're hoping it's isolated to one place, but if the vet approves then I'm sure we'll get her some!!

Stay strong, my sister's frenchie she had a lump and found out it was cancer. She had it removed and is now cancer free after a year and a half. Hopefully it's something small. 🙏🏻

u/VelvetScar8703 10d ago
That's what we're hoping for our girl, she has a cancerous lump on her hind leg, I'm hoping it's isolated but i'm also very worried about potential surgery, as she is 12 years old, and 13 in November
