Ben's got to have a biopsy

Took Ben to the vets last week because we found a lump in his neck glands, they have done an aspirate test and it stongly indicates lymphoma (cancer). He's having a full biopsy tomorrow but the vet says there is a 95% chance that it is lymphoma. Lost my sister's dog to lymphoma beginning of the year and my charlie of old age in may. Ben is only 4 and I think its gonna break my heart. Fealing pretty bleak at the moment.

I am so sorry to hear this. Our thoughts are with you and Ben.

Thanks for the sympathies, won't find out absolutely till early next week but the vet is certain it is lyphoma, he's more concerned about finding out how treatable it is.

Well hopefully it's being caught early enough that treatment won't be too big a problem. Poor fella! We are rooting for Ben!

Had the results today, definite lymphoma, 3-6 months as a likely timespan, only one thing certain is that we won't let him suffer.
