Westie Diagnosed With Tcc - Bladder

Hi

I too, am going through bladder cancer with my 12 year old beagle mix, Freckles. On 4/14/06, an ultrasound was done and a very large mass encompassed most of the bladder with no kidney involvement. Also a urinalysis was done and basically confirmed TCC. I work for a veterinarian and my oncologist is 30 minutes away and a compounding pharmacy is next door.

Personally....I would not do a biopsy. If the vet is 99.9% sure that would be enough for me. The reasoning be....why put your Brodie through that procedure to confirm the diagnosis.

I need support too.

Sincerely,

Janice Rowe
