We got the results from the tests. Homers spleen and nodules on his liver are benign.
But… the sample from his adrenal gland has a functioning tumour which they now want to remove in a few weeks time.
I’m rather concerned about further surgery especially as it was his adrenal glad that sent his heart racing.

 

[Joy]

That's mixed news isn't it - a difficult decision to make. x

So very sorry to read your update , lots to think about and worry over , sending love and hugs xxx

it was his adrenal glad that sent his heart racing.

Perhaps it was the tumour behaving like a tumour that wad in fact the cause of the racing heart.
Symptoms in humans would include high BP, palpitations, nervousness, weight changes, tummy pain......
Maybe better out than in, even though I totally understand your concerns.

I wonder if these are some of his symptoms he just cant tell us.

 

[JES72]

Yes it has become clear that when they took a sample from his adreanal gland it released a surge of adrenaline which sent his heart racing over 200 bpm! They had to resussitate him to get it back. It's only now that I can think about how touch and go it all was.

Its still his adreanal gland that is behaving abnormally and could be the cause for his nausea and vomiting which was our initial symptom something wasnt right.

So happy about the benign results for his spleen and liver. But now his kidney. Hopefully the vet can work out a good solution. Is chemo an option to shrink the tumour?

This is upsetting, and I know you know but keep close eyes on yourselves too for delayed trauma. You've been through - and are going through - a lot, and you need decompression as much as darling Homer. It's really tough and we're all here to listen and mull options as needed.

 

[Beanwood]

Gosh! What a mixed bag in terms of results. Maybe just take some time to decompress, as @HAH suggested, must be so tough to process all this right now.

thank you. It is a great help to share on here. For all the compassion and sensible advice from collective experience. It’s such a lovely safe space we have created to share all our ups and downs.
I took today off work as I was just feeling emotionally and physically tired.
