worried about our little T

Toby had his teeth cleaned while we were in FL and they had found a growth. They tested it for cancer just in case and today we got news that we did not want to hear. They called today with the lab results and they are positive for malignant melanoma. Of course Paul and I are devastated!

We are going to find out what the treatment options are from the oncologist and trying to keep our spirits up. We don't believe in doing any crazy treatments that might make him miserable and not help in the long run. We want him to be comfortable and if we can help extend his life in a non-traumatic way then we'll do it.

If there is ever a case for not putting off your pets' teeth cleaning I think this is it. We actually had his teeth cleaned earlier than we needed to and I am so glad we did it. Otherwise who knows when they would have found this. We caught it early and that's what we keep saying to ourselves over and over again. Early is good. Early is good. Early is good.

PS that phone number on his collar is no longer active :) thanks to those of you who emailed me worried about it!
