Sarcoma

Danniesparks48 posted:
The results of biopsy was a sarcoma, no given type. The vet recommends amputation to her leg, the lump/mass and swelling is on her hock and has grown to a very large size in 2-3 weeks. Our dog now has an open sore on her belly with just a few lymph nodes swollen.. The size of her lump is in a triangle with a 2 by 3.5 being the largest area. I am afraid that the cancer has spread due to swollen nodes. Are we looking ar limited time. She is still walking and moving around. It does seem to bother her with lots of running. And she is still eating.
