Boomers Biopsy Results

We received Boomers biopsy results today. His cancer on his nose was confirmed to be a Grade 2 Mast Cell Tumor. A type of tumor that if it is completely removed surgically with clean margins is cured, but if clean margins cannot be obtained it tends to respond well to radiation therapy. The location of Boomers tumor was on top of his nose and it was uncertain if clean margins could be obtained. Ryan and I decided to take him to Dr. Barstad a surgeon at the Dallas Veterinary Surgical Center in Dallas. We were informed that Dr. Barstad is the best and wanted to give Boomer the best chance at beating this cancer. Well Dr. Barstad is our hero, because it was confirmed today that Boomers tumor was completely excised with clean margins..........YEAH!!! We could not be happier. It appears Boomer is back on tract at making his 30 year life expectancy that we are all hopeful for :)
