When my sweet and sensitive Berner, Jorda, was four years old, a mast cell
tumor was removed from her foot. Our regular veterinarian removed it; he is
a skilled and talented surgeon who has tremedous experience with many
Bernese and has been doctor to my dogs since 1983. I do not know the grade
of the tumor. Jorda was put on a medicine whose name begins with a "t," to
the best of my recollection. This was back in 1990. Every six months until
she was ten years old, our veterinarian would do Xrays to ascertain there
was no return of the mast cell cancer. It turned out that it had been
surgically cured as it never returned. Jorda crossed the Bridge at age
thirteen years two weeks two days (large cell lymphoblastic lymphosarcoma).
If you would like more information about her treatment, I can give you our
DVM's clinic number.
Thank you for the information about francs; a friend asked me about the
conversion and I had no idea.
