Update on Luke's condition.

Update on Luke's condition: We learned the results of Luke's second biopsy this week. According to his Doctor, the tumor in his mouth does not seem to have spread, but she is still recommending that it be sugically removed.

I'm taking him back to G-boro to a specialist within the practice in two weeks to see if radiation is a possibility. If it isn't, then the only option will be to remove the tumor which will mean he will lose a portion of his tongue.

Before I put him through the ordeal of surgery, I have to learn everything I can about his problem and be convinced this is the best and only option. I can't stand the thought of hurting him, unless I'm certain it necessary for his long term best interest.

I love this dog.
