Harvey Update:
We got a call from the vet on Thursday (10.22) saying that they had "bad news" the biopsy came back as spindle cell sarcoma (cancer). The Dr. said that they continue to be dumbfounded as an isolated spindle cell sarcoma in the location where Harvey has it is unheard of. Due to this the Dr. hesitantly informed that they assumed Harvey's cancer had spread, meaning he had terminal cancer and his days were numbered. Due to this they wanted to do an ultrasound in order to check his lymph nodes. This of course was the worst news possible, and we couldn't help but be a bit devastated.
We luckily got Harvey in right away for the ultrasound. We were welcomed in the room to watch the process, which to us looked like a bunch of blurs on the screen. Jill didn't pay attention to the screen but rather intently watched the faces of the Dr. preforming the ultrasound in order to try and read her facial expressions etc. The process took only a couple minutes, which felt like infinity! In the end we were informed that everything was clear and that Harvey had a clean bill of health on the inside, besides the cancerous tumor in his leg of course. Pheeew! This meant that we were cleared and ready to move forward with the amputation, we welcomed this option because clearly it beat him having terminal cancer. We made an appointment for an amputation consultation and happily left the vet! :)
Here's our boy out for a walk, he picked this stick up in someones yard and carried it all the way home. :)
After a good day at the vet we picked up some pumpkins and spent the night carving them...
