Default Cleo's tumor: update

I just got home from the vet with my little girl and found out that the tumor was cancerous. I found a picture of her about 6+ months ago where you can see a small version of her tumor. This means that if it was going to spread through her system, it already has. I talked to the vet, and decided that amputation is not an option when weighing the pain factor with the fact that it has probably already spread past the leg. I asked her if there was a painless treatment that will give her a chance, and we came up with drug/chemo therapy. We will start her on the drugs after her leg heals, because it involves steroids.

Be assured, she will not suffer. I believe that keeping a Terminal, pain ridden animal alive is only for the owners sake. She has had a good long life filled with fun and excitement, and I will not let her last memories be filled with pain and despair. I am hoping that it won't come to that, but it is in the cards if needed.

So sorry to hear that! Do you know how long it will before you can start the chemo?
