lizblackdog Apr. 12th, 2010 06:03 pm)* After another morning of failing to be woken up by the vet telephoning me, I telephoned them. Their head soft tissue guy was out but he called me back to tell me what they know so far.
* WE ARE STILL NONE THE FUCKING WISER. Parts of the tissue sample analysed as squamous cell carcinoma, parts of it came back benign (which the vet says would suggest an inverted papilloma) and the CT scans and x-rays don't look particularly like either. We're still waiting on some of the histopathology results (the tissue sample with the tooth in it takes longer to prepare for analysis) and that may help some; meanwhile the vet's sending all the images back to their imaging expert to look at again and see if they missed anything. He also says he's never seen anything quite like it before.
* Bloodwork and lymph gland needle aspirations show nothing to worry about.
