You have been through so much plus it's nearly the end the school year for you which in itself is tiring. Take "me" time for yourself today, no analyzing, no thinking. Just breathe.

For those of you who are medically minded hers the technical information. Pheochromocytoma, a catecholamine releasing tumour
He’s going to go onto blood pressure medication.
I’m a bit surprised that they didn’t look into this first and take out the adrenal gland with the spleen. A lot of the symptoms such as the nausea and drinking more and being hungry were things we mentioned although as an afterthought. I suppose the spleen mass was more obvious.
Anyway, they are more prepared, next lot of surgery will be in a few weeks time.
Apologies this is turning into a bit of a saga.

Please don’t feel you need to apologise. We’re here for you and Homer. It’s always difficult to weigh options. It’s good to know that the other samples are clear.

Goodness yes - shame it couldn’t be done all in one go but onwards and upwards. It is good those other samples are clear. Here‘s some more and’s

Wonderful news about the benign nodules, upsetting about the adrenal gland tumour. I really don’t know if this is something that would help with the sort of reaction Homer had with his heart, but Axel had a heart condition so anytime he was put under he was given a different anesthetic than what was most commonly used, one that was quickly reversible incase his heart acted up. I’m sorry, I really don’t remember the technical terms 
but that always gave me a bit more reassurance when he had to be put under. Maybe something to discuss with your vet? But like you said, they are a lot more prepared this time

Maxx had his annual checkup and shots a few days ago and the Vet said he is in great condition. I wanted to say it's because of a wonderful, kind and wise bunch of people who taught us so much and who we can turn to any time - dog related or not. You have people all around the globe with our arms around you and Homer @JES72
