In one phone call we went from hoping for good news to knowing that from now on the news will only be relative degrees of bad. The lab report shows carcinoma in Stormy's upper jaw. This is a location where surgery is not really an option. We don't really know much more because the specimen was partially obscured by freezing on the way to the lab (love living in Iowa). There were a minimal number of mitotic cells which means that this may not be a very fast growing variety. Our vet is getting us an appointment with an Oncologist at Iowa State (one advantage to living here - this is a great veterinary school). The only other option our vet mentioned was radiation - we'll just have to see. I'm kind of stunned and shell-shocked as is Deb. There really isn't much more to say. I hate to post depressing news, but we could all use some kind thoughts and rays for our big boy. We'll keep everyone posted.
