Biopsy

My biopsy's finally done! But they shaved off a huge portion of my fur. My M says now I look like an old man with dangling skin because there's no fur covering my chin now. Look how much they shaved off! (forgive the blur pics, it was taken with my M's handphone camera)

Naked me!


I don't understand why they need to shave fur off my chest when they're taking the lump from my neck.

Here's a close up of the scar.

The good thing is that, the vet said his gut feel is that it may not be cancer. Because the lumps have not grown in size although it's almost a month. If it's cancer, things will move pretty quickly, but I'm still generally ok, except for the tiredness. Also, the node he took out is smooth, not lumpy. However, we would still need to wait for the results of the tests. He said it may happen again that the tests is not conclusive that it's cancer.

This time, the tissue samples will be sent to 2 different labs for testing, and my M has requested that she be allowed to borrow the slides if she needs to. The vet said he will put forward the request to the labs.

On a side note, I think it's easier for me to swallow now with one lump gone. Previously, I would choke on my food sometimes. Now eating is much more pleasurable! I'll be staying the night with Scuba, as my M and MM have to work tomorrow, so they've asked Aunty S to look after me to make sure I don't scratch my wound. I'm gonna try my begging skills on Aunty S. She can never resist me!

That's all for now folks! Thanks for all your well wishes and prayers!
