finally
Just got a call from the vet, my dog had his second (and final) surgery to try and remove his cancer. They said they could not find any evidence of cancer after microscopic inspection of the tissue that was removed again. That means they think they got it all the first time around, and the second time was just a precaution to make sure. He had a little but of a rough go after the surgeries with sutures coming out (he's a dog so he wants to play, run, etc so keeping him calm as an ordeal) and a bit of pain.
But finally something good...
Yay!
