The Mutt's tumor was getting close to blocking so we got her set up for round 2 with the laser. This time at Texas A&M University, where she was cared for by Dr Cook, Dr Chang and a great bunch of folks there. As an aside, College Station is a really cool and friendly place, I just wish I could have checked out some of the stuff there, but there was not the time.
They debulked the tumor, though I have not seen images of the reduced tumor. They wanted to be conservative however since they did not want to puncture the bladder - so I am not expecting the nearly clean appearance that her bladder had after Dr. Cerf performed the same type of proceedure last year. Her recovery from the surgery was pretty quick, just one day in the hospital this time, and we were back on the road after 2 days. Overall I am hopeful, but realistic about this, best case is 6-9 months due to her other problems, but right now she is still active and otherwise healthy (and happy).
