Which first? Well ... Billi's prognosis is good - it seems the specialist was able to successfully excise the four growths (there was one they hadn't previously detected in her spleen - so they've whipped that out as well) and it looks like they've gotten it early enough for the prognosis to be good. She was home the day after her surgery (seems they thought she'd be a better patient in familiar territory with familiar people around her).
News isn't so good for her owner though. Her tests revealed cancer, and for someone who thought she knew what the problem was, this was a huge shock. They're in the middle of exploratory scans etc at the moment to find out if, how far and where it may have spread. Not good. You know it's serious when the doctor can get you to see the oncology specialist who has a year's waiting list within a couple of hours.
I can't imagine what's worse - finding out about it - or waiting to find out how bad it is.
