The Meeting with Dr. Pluhar

Our meeting went well.  Jake impressed with his good looks as usual and then greeted her with a smelly gift.  I blame it on the many dogs we saw in the waiting room.  Dr. Pluhar was very nice and very thorough.  She went over the various possible treatments which will depend on the grade of his tumor.  We won't know the grade until she does the surgery tomorrow.  Hopefully it will be a low grade tumor.  When we first saw the MRI results we were taken aback by the size of the tumor.  After speaking with the doctor though she said its just the size and spot that she has the most experience working on so that made us feel better.  We have to bring him at 7am central time and his surgery is scheduled for 9:30 but that could always get pushed back.  For now we'll be relaxing in the room and trying to get a good nights sleep.
