Thanks Mike.
I used to have insurance ,but never got ahead of the insurance fee. This was a $2000.00 bill so the company I had would not have even covered half of that. Thankfully, we have 2 good pensions here so can handle the cost. If it is cancer though, I'll put the dog down when life is no longer fun for him - one of the many responsibilities of owning a dog. I'd hoped he'd live to 14, but if it is cancer an older rescue will be next.
Hopefully the results will be back soon.
