While there is so much more to write about his adoption over the last five years, today we jump ahead to what his happening currently. On Monday we noticed that under Drake's tail, it was very swollen so the first thing Tuesday morning I took him to see Dr. Al. The news was not good.
It was not swelling, but rather a tumor in is anal sac. Dr. Al said it was the largest one he had ever felt. After telling me over and over again that this was not good, I asked if there was anything that could be done. He said that he felt it was too big to operate, but this was out of his expertise and referred us to an animal cancer clinic. So this morning we are starting down the path of canine oncology.
Having done a great deal of research the last couple of day on anal sac cancer, I am approaching the appointment this morning with a lot of hope. This is only a bump in the road and we have will have many more years of love together.
To Drake's friend Tony thanks for asking St. Francis for the assist.
