My parents took my dogs to the vet because one dog has joint pain (he’s 11 and a mastiff so he’s lived 3 years past expectations) and the other dog has a small lump on her hip. The dog with the hip lump is Lexi and the vet identified the lump as cancerous. Her surgery to remove it is on May 27th (day after my birthday and day of my birthday party sleepover cuz of course a lot has to happen in two days) if the surgery removes all cancerous cells then she will have to heal but be fine but if it can’t it will shorten her life expectancy. I’ve had her for as long as I can remember. Doing quick math me and my family first adopted her when she was 3 and now she’s 11. I’m turning 13 on the 26th so since I was 5 because 11-3=8 so she’s been with us 8 years then 13-8=5 so I’m turning 13-8 years she’s been with us =5 a s the age I was when we adopted her. Anyway I hope the vet can remove all the cancerous cells. The house would be to quiet without her. I’ll update on the 27th when she has her surgery.
My dog has cancer 😢

Oh, so sorry to hear about your dog.
I hope the surgery goes well and that they manage to remove all of the cancer. All the best.

Good luck on the surgery, cancer sucks. I've been through it with humans and dogs. It sucks big time. But, sometimes we are blessed with little successes, and we buy some more time with our loved ones 💓
Thanks for all the support. I’m pretty sure Lexi is secretly invincible. Her favorite food is chocolate. We try to prevent her eating it but she once got into an entire box of Hershey’s coco powder (you know the most lethal type of chocolate to dogs) and was sick for a day and is now fine. She’s also ate an entire bottle of medication that my mom uses for her many health complications. She’s fine now other then the cancer. I have full belief she will be fine because she’s secretly invincible lol. Fingers crossed 🤞
How is she 🥺
She’s doing well so far. She sometimes picks at the lump but she only started this right after the vet appointment where it was identified as cancerous. 1.5 weeks until her surgery. I’ll update this thread but I’ll also make another post afterwards.
