Honey's biopsy results are back, and it's Nasal Chondrosarcoma. Our appointment with the radiologist is at 3:40 today, and they told us not to give her any food for 8 hours before the appointment, and no water for 2 hours before. I hope this means they're going to start treatment STAT. The weird thing about this is she's not acting at all sick, except that I think the antibiotics (clavamox, causes vomiting and nausea sometimes) is getting to her in the mornings, and the other day coming off the general anesthesia was tough. she’s tired, ill give her that, but last night, I believe 43 hours after her CT scan and two large biopsy samples taken from the roof of her mouth, she was bringing me her ball and catching it in midair.
Apparently Chondrosarcoms has a 10% metastasis rate, and this has not gone to her lymph nodes or her lungs, but the vet did say it was "locally aggressive" I wonder if that means she'll lose her nose? Anyways, I've only had about 25 minutes to do research so I don't have any really good sources yet, but I'm a librarian and believe in the value of facts, so ill ask the oncologist for some info and ill dredge some reliable current stuff up online from somewhere to make available to anyone else who needs info on this.

My 4 year old bull mastiff x boxer has just been diagnosed with this cancer, she can only breath from one nostril. She is a rare case being so young, im devastated. i refuse to do chemo as i really dont want to see her get sick and remember her that way. she is still a bubbly and energetic dog. i will get the full report today, hopefully with some antibiotics it can at least make her comfortable in the future. operating is too evasive for the dog and dangerous so that isnt an option either, plus the cancer will grow straight back from all the reports i have read. so from here i am going to give her my love and affection until its time.
