i was the size of a golf ball and they did a biopsy and it turned out to be maligment. they did a laser treatment and it shrunk to the size of a peanut shell. a couple weeks later they did an ultrsound and part of it grew back. they did another biopsy and it was maligment. now they are doing another lasrer treatment. do these tumors keep growing back? how man treatments until they decide to do chemo? are there any other options? this is all very scary and we dont know much about it. any shared information or personal experiences would be SOOOO appreciated. thank you

My dog (7 yr.old neo mastiff) was diagnosed one yr. ago tomarrow with a malignant tumor on lower gum. Removed twice, each time grew back larger than before. Several teeth removed each time. I went to two vets for an opinion/tx. options, advice. No treatment was done due to very poor prognosis. Now, 1 yr. later, tumor still there, he is eating fine, appears to be his usual self, weight stable for him (195) . Is this cancer spreading? Could they have been wrong? They told us 3, maybe 6 months? I am baffled, however very, very happy, and wonder if I should get a third opinion. I know the lifespan of these dogs is only 7-8 anyway-but I am really struggling with this. Can anyone give advice?

My mom is well advanced in her age and was recently diagnosed with a Malignant Kidney tumor. She is about 74 but is still quite active and still drives.

No Biopsy has been done yet. The tumor in the MRI was measured at 3 cm c 3 cm.
It is growing outside of her kidney and no full diagnosis has been given
My concern is given her age, what are her survival rates in regards to treatment.
What are the possible treatments.

I am wanting to find an alternate solution since I am hesistant to allow her to do surgery duew to her age or chemo.

I have a vaginal malignant melanoma. the tumor is 2.5 cm. with ulceration. I made a surgery where ovaries, uterus, the posterior wall of the vagian and the rectum where removed. my doctor said i am of high risk of recurrence. he told me there is no treatment available now except interferon and he is not really sure about its proficiency. the recommended dose he suggested is 3 million to be injected under the skin three times a week. Please help me if there are other treatments and ,if not, is the 3 million interferon dose effective or not. i did the surgery two months ago. no lymph nodes were affected. waiting for your replies. thanks everyone

it’s some kind of rare cancer but no one can tell me much about it. they say it’s technically a skin cancer but it was a tumor the size of a golf ball they took out. i’m not sure what course to take. the doctors don’t seem to agree on what treatment to use. help please.

I mean the stages before you died. Would you get really tired and weak, fall into a coma for a week then die? What would happen?
