More John Henry
I took John Henry to the vet school yesterday. They said that everything looks really good. I think he's been kind of depressed, plus falling on his incision, because it perked him right up to go for a ride and hang out in the waiting room and, well, do something.
The preliminary pathology report indicates that his cancer might be a fibrosarcoma, which is a soft tissue cancer rather than a bone cancer. If it turns out that this is so, it would be a really good thing because fibrosarcomas rarely metastisize (I hope that's spelled right...)
Riley had a fibrosarcoma (which she lived with for three years and which is not what killed her). The oncologist I talked to then said, 'well, you know, the 100% cure is to cut off the leg.'
Ha, ha, vet humor.
