Stunned to see this and read the comments. My vet took 3 mm (not cm) margins and didn’t recommend radiation or chemo for my dog’s 2-cm lump. It recurred at 10 months, again no talk of chemo or radiation. It’s been 10 months more and he’s fading. The vet never offered ultrasound to investigate his cough or swollen belly. Sure wish I’d found this video 20 months ago.

Your story sounds a lot like mine and it's so heartbreaking! My veterinarian didn't offer me any other options either and the tumor came back with a vengeance and now it's huge and there's probably not much left I can do now I'm so angry with my veterinarian

My dog is still recovering from surgery I read a lot on the internet about grade 2 Sarcoma's today since I just found out the results today. It's scary what you read and I came across your video that did help me feel a little better. But she has alot of lumps the vet said the others are fine but now I am going to worry everything I feel one. She is turning 11 soon and I hope for many years yet to come with her.

Great video. Thanks!

Please could you kindly do a soft tissue sarcoma video for felines, there really isn’t much information available for this area. Thank you

Nice to learn

Thank you so much for this video. My dog got diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma grade 3. I cannot remember if is malignant or not. She had surgery, 5 rounds of Doxirubison ( totally misspelled) and 2 rounds of radiation. That was almost a year ago. She is doing great at home. I think even better than what she was before being diagnosed. The Doc said to keep x-raying her every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 for 2 years. If nothing shown then He will consider her in remission. So far everything has checked off. But I still worry about her relapsing at any point. But like you said. Is actually “good tumor. “ My dog is very strong and I am very proud of her ❤️ can’t wait for part 2 of this video. Thank you Dr Sue.

Hi how old is your dog if you dont mind me asking plz

My fiance passed from Chondrosarcoma on 11/23/2020 and now my 11 year old dog has a mass on her head and I am being referred to another vet but the vet that did her exam two days ago said possible sarcoma and my heart stopped. I'm back and forth in my head bc I'm scared that as soon as we open it up or start messing with it and doing surgeries I'm going to lose her five months later too. I can't go through another cancer journey and more surgeries again.

Im glad i found this vid. Very informative. My senior dachshund was diagnosed with fibroliposarcoma. She's scheduled for another round of surgery and doxorubicin. I'm just worried how she will respond to doxorubicin.

Your Awesome Thank you !!

Hello Dr. Sue. Thanks for your clear video. Does one always need to have a 2nd surgery done, if no aspirates done? Doesn't the surgeon see what to take away during the operation? I'm stuck. My little brown/black rescue chihuahua, just adoped her last year in May, she's 12 yrs old, has a hard lump, and a smaller loose lump next to it, on her left hind leg. It's behind her knee, (which had been fractured and not well mended, a few years before adoption), and she had a very small lump there when we got her. But, the vets didn't do anything about it. That leg was already sore, she didn't like to walk on it too much. The lump grew very fast in November last, were she had the cytoplasmy done. Since one month, she doesn't walk on that leg at all, nor can she jump on and from the couch, which was quite easy for her before. Although she suffers of arthritis in all 4 legs. She's had a cystoplasmy taken, which was ok. No biposy yet, as the oncology clinic here wants to do a set of very expensive scans first. Lungs, (which are fine on the x-rays), her abdomen, (She also has a very small nodule on one if her left mamels), and her leg with a biopsy. It depends on those results, what they are going to do afterwards. Is it possible to go ahead with an operation, without these scans? Up to know, I haven't seen an oncologist yet, because the appointment is only made after the scan results !! So, I don't know what to do... Because, I'm sure she'll need an operation, or at least medication. Is that possible without knowing what type of a lump it is? She has pain, and can't move that leg properly, nor walk on it. So, it's obvious we can't just leave her like that? Are there good treatments without operation? (If it can't be operated...) Please can you help me better understand what to do. I don't have the immense budget for the scans. The vets here didn't talk about ultrasound tests. (In French it's échographie). I would need to see how to pay, if she would undergo an operation. But, I can do that. Thank you.🙏 Ambriel.

My dog has this in his neck. It's about 1/3rd the size of a golf ball. I didn't pet her their. He's going for surgery Friday.

Pretty sure my 8 yo Lab mix has a tissue sarcoma. Huge tumor on her hind leg. I opted for no pathology/cystology. The surgery is scheduled for removal. Quality of life over quantity is my outlook.

It is quite big - just found a week ago - about the size of an orange. When getting the biopsy, they also did 2 chest xrays. I feel confident in the surgeon - apparently they will have to do a flap reconstruction due to it being close by her bottom :( Your videos are very reassuring.

I know you’re a cancer doctor and not an orthopedist, but do you have any advice on whether or to amputate in the event of an injury? My dog’s previous owners accidentally ran over her when she was three-months-old. She has had three surgeries to repair her back left leg, and she is still having problems. On Friday we found out she needs to have surgery again; this time because the bone didn’t heal correctly from her first surgery, and the neck of the femur isn’t going into the hip socket correctly! Should we make another attempt to save the leg, or just give up? We don’t want her to be in pain and we want to do the right thing for Zoey. She just turned three, and her quality of life has always been our priority. We just don’t know if that means trying to save the leg or removing it. We do have another dog and they are great friends!

What about a mesenchymal cell proliferation?

Hi Doctor Sue, we took our dog to the vet for a lump we found on her side a few days ago and they did a fine needle aspiration on it. We just got the results back today. I asked them to email me the results and this is what it says. Very much would appreciate your opinion on this and is there any questions I should ask them or anything? Thanks. "Cytology Source: 4 slides from semi-firm movable subcutaneous mass on right side of thorax about 2cm in diameter. Microscopic description: The sample is highly cellular, consisting of numerous mesenchymal cells and low numbers of inflammatory cells (few neutrophils and macrophages) on a highly proteinaceous background with free lipid. Some collagen is noted. The mesenchymal cells are spindloid with moderately basophilic cytoplasm. Their nuclei are ovoid and display moderate anisokaryosis. They have stippled chromatin and some haver prominent nucleoli. Few mitotic figures are observed. Findings: Atypical mesenchymal proliferation with mild mixed cell inflammation Comments: the mesenchymal cells could be a reactive fibroblast population since a mild degree of inflammation is present; however, they display moderate nuclear atypia, including increased mitotic activity., Other differentials include a benign fibroma or hamartoma or a soft tissue sarcoma. It is difficult to discern reactive vs neoplastic mesenchymal populations on cytology when inflammation is present. In most cases, soft tissue sarcomas do not readily metastasize, but can be locally invasive and some may recur. Biopsy and histologic evaluation are recommended to discern a reactive vs neoplastic mesenchymal population." They recommend removing it as if it grows larger it will be harder to remove later if it attaches to the muscle or something he tried to explain they might not then remove it all and it can come back.

How many people look for this information BEFORE their dog already has a tumor? My dog has a tumor right where she had her rabies shot 4 months ago. I thought it was irritation because she’s very sensitive and has allergies. No, she has cancer.

Thank you for raising pet cancer awareness. Please focus on cat cancer too as its needed. 10 days ago, my 10 yr old cat was diagnosed with subcutaneous hemangiosarcoma from biopsy taken from an egg yolk-sized tumor on neck. A week later I had to euthanize him as he was already suffering. I'm heartbroken and having difficulty accepting I'll never spend time with him again. The tumor grew so quickly that I noticed it in a month from a protrusion under his collar. The next week I took him to the vet for it and to treat a blood infection that had just come on. Treating the infection took 3 weeks then he had a biopsy. After less than 2 weeks his health nosedived and he could barely walk and wouldn't eat. The tumor had already grown 1.5 times since I first found it. I wish I could have done more for him including finding the tumor at the first onset even though it probably wouldn't have saved him in the long run. I wanted more time with him to say goodbye but his last 5 days was a whirlwind nightmare. He was my closest friend and like no other cat I've had before with the most unique and robust personality no different than people. He could never get enough of me and wanted nothing more than having me home 24/7 to sit on my lap, snuggle, and gaze at me. He understood the precious value of spending time in the present with a loved one.

Hi Chad! If you don't mind me asking, how old was your dog and how are they doing now? I have an 8 year old Shepherd/Dane mix that I'm heavily contemplating taking to his CT scan tomorrow morning for his Soft Tissue Sarcoma (to see how deep it is, if is to the bone, and if it's spread through his body). I'm concerned that the sedation, CT scan and surgery are just going to be too much on him at his old age. But at the same time he's still got his puppy energy, wants to go on walks and wants to play every single day.. I'm wondering if I should just not put him under all that stress and let him live the rest of his life as an 8 year old man with super early stages of kidney disease, a low thyroid, and a cancerous lump on his hip. Or if I should spend thousands to get everything checked out, do the surgeries, help him recover and try to get more years out of him. I won't have certainty on the longevity of his life either way but I just don't know what to do. Our vet says that surgery will cause it to grow back, but we don't know how long that will take, so they want to take as much as they can this time and then maybe he'll pass of old age before it get's this big again (about half a baseball on his hip). After surgery, it could grow back, get worse and call for chemo or amputation. Sorry for the novel, he's my boy and I just don't know what to do. Thanks!

You didn't mention in this video that the treatability depends on where in the body they develop. Hers is in her pelvic area, and the first symptom was constipation.

I found a small lump on my dog's chest- the size of a small marble. I took her to the vet right away and they did a FNA and the vet immediately determined it to be a fatty tumor (without sending it off to lab). How trusting of this immediate diagnosis should I be? I have been monitoring the lump to make sure it hasn't changed in size, and it hasn't (it's been several months now). Sometimes it changes in consistency, in that some days it feels like a half empty whoopy cushion and others it feels like a slightly more inflated whoopy cushion. What would you advise Dr.?

I thought I'd try my luck and post a comment here... my dog has a soft tissue sarcoma but I didn't get any information about the grade. However it's in his left armpit and the vet told me this is a very problematic area to do surgery (arteries, nerves). My dog is 13.5 years old and honestly he's in great shape. But I do feel at his age I'm really reluctant to go through a particularly problematic surgery. (If it's relevant my dog has already gone through two knee surgeries for crucial cranial tears and recovered pretty well.) My vet said if it was his dog he would leave the sarcoma. I know this will just continue to grow and potentially even disrupt his movement one day. I'm curious what Dr. Sue or anyone else has to say about this. Thank you.

Hey there, I actually took my almost 13 year old labrador to the vet recently. I do believe it is a sarcoma, we didn't do any testing. My vet was straight with me, and said that while we can proceed with tumor removal, we could also leave it alone and leave her be. The tumor is also in the armpit area too. She said that we would have to first do blood work to even see if she is a good candidate for surgery, and even with surgery there is risk she may not pull through cause she is a senior and higher risk. They did listen to her lungs and heart and they said they sounded good, and she looked like a happy dog and maintained the same weight over the year. The tumor also doesn't seem to cause her any pain too. At the moment I decided to hold off on surgery, first cause it was gonna cost 3 grand, and also cause there is the risk of her not making it or experiencing potential complications during or after the surgery. What matters to me is that she is a happy dog, so if she can continue to live and enjoy being a dog, even with the tumor, I'll be okay with that.

Hey there, was just curious how has it gone with your dog? I recently decided to go through with the surgery for the tumor removal on the 24th of January. It had started bleeding and I thought it was time to remove it. Biopsy was done and it turned out to be a grade 3 sarcoma. For now I am glad we got the tumor removed, and my 13 year old labrador is doing great and recovering really well. Vet said she did well under anesthesia too. We did preoperative blood work as well as X-rays to see if she was a good candidate for anesthesia. There didnt appear to be any visible signs of metastasis or anything on her xrays or bloodwork. Post operation I recently started giving her hemp oil, along with turkey tail mushroom, feeding a better diet to help strengthen her immune system, and a NSAID called piroxicam. Piroxicam has been studied to be anti-tumor, and it helps with her arthritis. I figured it was worth taking a holistic approach cause I really don't want to put her through chemotherapy and it combines conventional treatment with more experimental therapies.

Good video but who can afford to send thier dog in for biopsie, surgery and so on, this cost 5,6,7K and over......

Cancer cost me $12,000 from start to finish (We went through Vet Cancer Group in Orange County, CA) it bought my dog 7 months of life, that’s priceless. Also, I’m married and I have no children which is why my income is enough to pay a mortgage and chemo

PLEASE DO NOT APSERATE! Asperating causes SPREAD! Get it removed, then byopsy. Always best.
