Do you mind me asking how come Trudy didnt do chemo or radiation? Did you guys choose not? Do you have any recommendation of good articles or websites that helped you with Trudy's journey [MENTION=15364]oscarmayer[/MENTION] ?

Her situation was very cut and dry. Sandy noticed a bump and made an appointment...having seen Mast Cell before on other Bulldogs, she was suspicious. Vet found several more bumps. Vet knew right away what it was. He removed the lesions and got good margins according to path report. He told Sandy that it may certainly come back and to always be on the lookout for more. They never did.

I consider Trudy very fortunate...
...that Sandy noticed the first bump rather early
...that her Vet was very experienced and did not misdiagnose it
...that it didn't return

I'm confident that had it returned, follow-up treatment (chemo, radiation)would have been recommended/necessary.

Keeping your and Chelios in my thoughts & prayers. I see you've gotten some great helpful responses and I have no first hand experience but I hope you find the right source for treatment.

I'll be watching for updates and here for support.
