not looking good for Muriel

About October last year, I found a lump between Muriel's front
legs. She's about 17 so, figuring that if it was cancerous it
needed immediate action, I took her to the vet straight away.
The vet removed a greyish blob, couldn't guess what it was - she
initially thought it might have been an airgun pellet - but took
away the adjacent breast tissue and one nipple just in case. It
turned out to be an adenocarcinoma (i.e. much the same as the
commonest type of human breast cancer). This has a very bad
prognosis, but for a few months it looked like she'd dodged the
bullet. She developed a couple of what felt like skin warts or
moles over the next few months but they didn't enlarge. She's
been perfectly fit, you'd never guess her age.

I've just found another lump on her other side that feels just
like the original one, well under the skin. Doesn't look good
at all. We'll get her to the vet this week but I doubt there's
much that can be done. The one positive factor is that since
the original lump was encapsulated with a poor blood supply,
her system must be good at fighting this.

I'm sorry to hear this, but it sounds like at an advanced age, overall,
she is doing well.
