and good morning in here!
i should get the official results of spark's ct scan today or tomorrow. unofficially, the results are mixed.
good news - there is no sign whatsoever that any of the multiple tumors are spreading inwards where they might damage his organs. the large ping-pong ball sized tumor next to his left leg, which has been growing at a steady pace, should present no problem in removing with enough skin available to close the wound. unfortunately this was done about 2 yrs ago and the tumor regrew. there's a good possibility the same thing will happen again.
unfortunately, all the smaller tumors and xanthomas covering his belly and backside are so vascular removal is not possible .....
diet seems to have no effect on reducing or slowing down the growths. it might be genetic or damage done in his earlier years; he was in foster care for 2 yrs, where no adopters could be found because of this until we came along, and now 3 yrs with us.

(((Tibs)))
that does sound mixed, but overall hopeful. Will you schedule the surgery to remove the one that can be removed?

Spark has a great home Tib and he's well cared for. I guess all you can do is hope for the best.
no choice there - it interferes with his walking and climbing - will probably wait till the beginning of december. the doctor we've been seeing will be out of the country the month of november ..........
they assured me in case of emergency they will take him right away though. he could bump it and injure it
will be gone for a bit. the first company to give me an estimate on installing an alarm is scheduled for 9 am. no idea how long that'll take - laterzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Later Tibs.
hope all goes well with the alarm company. Wish you didn't need to do it though.
time for em to get the day started too. Have a reasonable day y'all

Of course my good morning qualifies, Tib. Before 10 a.m. is still the middle of the night.
