This CAN be "cured" surgically.
My Berner Jorda, my spiritual sister, had a mast cell tumor removed from her
foot at age four years and lived, cancer free, for ANOTHER NINE YEARS,
succumbing to large cell lymphoblastic lymphosarcoma at age thirteen years
two weeks two days.
Hers was probably a low grade tumor as well and my dogs' veterinarian is a
skilled surgeon who has great experience with Bernese and their health
problems. Indeed, he understands the very heart of the Berner.
In your shoes, I would do the surgery to attempt to get it all; if you would
like to talk with my dogs' veterinarian, I would be glad to share the number
with you.
