They did a biopsy. They are sure.

Sherry, {{{Hugs}}} to you & Bonkers! I am so sorry.

I've been out of town for 2 weeks so just read through the whole thread now. My beloved Boris had a sarcoma lump taken off her leg. The vet told us the same thing you were told, but Boris lived for several years (maybe 6?) with no other occurrences or symptoms. I hope Bonkers can have the same outcome.

(You may remember that we lost both the fur babies pictured in my avatar, Izzy & Bella, in 2016. Boris was our fur girl before them. We are pet-less right now & it feels so strange.)

Sherry,

I'm so very sorry. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family and for Bonkers. It is so difficult and deciding what would be best for him is heart wrenching. Please know that people care.

Dorothy, that's so wonderful that you got several more years with Boris.
