Just got a call from the tech at work. Johnny made it through anesthesia just fine. Resting comfortably. Got the mass out of his mouth. It wasn't 'all-over' and easily removed. Sending it out for histopathology. Something is not right with his heart - don't know what. Don't know if it is worth pursing at his age. In his abdomen, all his lymph nodes are swollen. Didn't see any distinct masses. When I asked what do to with him...the tech asks the doctor. Doctor says keep him comfortable. She'll be bringing him home to me this evening. Maybe I'll know more, maybe not. I'll also talk to her before she leaves with him. I guess it's just a waiting game now....

ruiner how is he breathing... does he seem out of breath at times? i don't want to scare you but it could be congestive heart failure at the stage they arent going to see it on the xrays yet

Gidget - don't worry about scaring me.... He has restrictive cardiomyopathy - large heart muscle walls = small ventricular space = heart has to work harder. No real treatment, just keep him comfortable and stress free. Abdominal lymph nodes could be due to the mouth mass or lymphoma. Didn't bother poking the nodes for biopsy. No real treatment for lymphoma so if I know it won't really matter. No mets to lungs - a good thing if there is any cancer. Treatments he's currently on are contraindicated for his heart condition! Can't discontinue treatments he'd be in worse shape. Treatment #1 is prednisolone - keeps him from vomiting all the time. Gonna try to reduce that dosage to every other day. Treatment #2 subq fluids to hydrate and keep urinary crystals from building up causing a potentially blocked urethra. Gonna keep an eye on how long it takes him to process the fluids. Both treatments are very important. To put it bluntly - poor old man is dying. I have to keep him comfortable as I can. Right now he's crying his little heart out -confusion from the anesthesia and he wants to eat but his mouth is bothering him! I have him on pain meds, naturally. Gonna be a long night! Not really looking to dump on you guys - just keeping you informed... Mouse is still doing GREAT! Lots of smoochies to all and to all a good night!
