[QUOTE="Suz, post: 658704, member: 29"] My sweet Rufus was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor on/between his middle toes on his left rear paw. He's a shaggy "Sandy-from-Annie" kind of dog and it didn't bother him and he showed no symptoms other than the lump. It was diagnosed as stage 3 by the time I even noticed it by accident. They said with surgery he had an 80% chance that it would not recur. If he had chemo they gave him 90%. He had surgery April 2014; I elected not to put him through the ordeal of chemo. KNOCK ON WOOD>>>so far so good. I am constantly petting, rubbing, inspecting him for lumps and bumps. He has his fair share as he's probably around 7 or 8 now (he was a rescue so I really have no idea how old he is) and dogs of that age start getting lumps and bumps. The doctor says these are not the same so I count my blessings and try not to obsess on it. It is difficult not to obsess. I'm sending good thoughts to you and your pup. I hope the biopsy says the lump your pup has is a red and angry cyst and not a MCT. Suz [/QUOTE]
