Positive thoughts for Bongo please

Some of you might remember back a few months ago Bongo had dental surgery and had several teeth removed (he had had a swelling under his eye indicating a probable infected molar) well, that swelling never did go away completely after the surgery and then while dogo was down, the swelling got worse :( I took him in and when the doc tried to look in his mouth he bit her! she pulled her hand away, but he was very serious about it. so....... on thursday last week Bongo went under again and she looked at the molar socket and cleaned it out to make sure there wasnt any piece of tooth left festering. then she also took a sample of the swollen tissue off to the lab - we are now awaiting results. :roll:
from what she tells me, she really isnt sure, because everything "contradicts itself" sort of...... she says it is eitehr infection of cancer - it is in an odd place for cancer, but very typical place for infection - BUT, the swellign is hard as bone, unlike normal infected tissue is usually softer :( and she didnt find anythign in there looking like infection .......... SOOOO - the doc said she would have results back today and depending on exactly waht they said she would talk to a local dental specialist about the best treatment options and get to me once she got all the answers ..... nothing like waiting! :cry: keep your paws crossed for some sort of good news - the poor old guy is really tired lately

we did get back the results - and its not good....... squamous cell carcinoma :cry: the only treatment is a very invasive surgery and given the location and his age, really not even an option....... the doc said its a pretty nasty cancer, but spreads relatively slowly. It seems the only thing to do now is enjoy him and spoil him for whatever time we have left. (she said shes had dogs last as long as a couple months - but prob not that long) :cry:
