Nizzle's Surgery Update

It wasn't the best of news for Nizzle,
She did go through her surgery well. Dr.T found her adrenal tumor to be on the right hand side. The right adrenal gland is more difficult for a surgeon to work with. Not only that, the tumor was very large, it had grown at a rapid rate. It was the largest adrenal tumor Dr.T had ever seen! He could only remove some of the tumor, if he had attempted to remove all of it, he risked her hemorrhaging and bleeding to death. Since there is still some tumor left , there is a great chance it will grow right back. With how large it was and how quickly it had grown, Dr.T is quite positive that the tumor is also cancerous. Not good news at all. She did have a tumor on her pancreas as well, causing the insulinoma. This tumor was easily removed, Dr.T didn't have any problems with that one. That was the only good news from the surgery. Nizzle came out of the anesthesia without problems and she was drinking, alert and active. She is home with her foster Mom and will be kept a close eye on her recovery. She will be going back to see Dr.T in a week and a half to 2 weeks to have her stitches out.
It is grave news. We are disheartened to hear it and know it. Cancer is such an evil thing! We hope that having the surgery give her more time for hugs, cuddles and kisses. maybe she will surprise us and have another year in her, or maybe more.
Thank you for thinking of Niz and us
