After sleeping on it and a long chat with Tate’s regular vet, we’ve decided to go ahead with the amputation. Tate’s vet explained that it is not all that unusual to not be able to get a definitive diagnosis from a core biopsy from a bone, he had a similar case recently that was proven to be (whatever he thought it was) when they checked the amputated leg. And he’d already spoken with Tate’s oncologist about the path report and our conversations yesterday. He’s all over this!
So it is scheduled for Tuesday morning, 8:00. Tate’s surgeon called tonight to explain a few things, and said she wants to prepare us for Tate’s appearance post-surgery. Thanks to Tripawds, we already know about that but what I really want to know is if my little boy is suddenly going to start flying the flag, raising a tent, and waving his magic wand. : )
