A couple of weeks ago I had Boeing neutered, and when they removed her uterine they also found a lump. Of course, they removed the lump as well, and when I came to pick her up they asked me if they could send the lump in for analysis. I told them that they should, and they told me it would cost extra money, but as Boeing has an insurance the insurance company would pay for it. On a side note Boeings insurance has now paid for itself for 4 years.

4 days ago, when I had just arrived back to civilisation after spending a couple of days mountain hiking, I got a call. It was the vet, and they had gotten the results from the analysis of the lump. It was malignant tumor. I wasn’t at home at the time, and was in no real position to do anything what so ever, so after just asking what could be done (basically, I can take her to checkup-xrays), I told them I would phone them on monday when I was home again.

Boeing doesn’t seem to be suffering now, but she didn’t seem to be suffering before either when she still had the tumor. All we really can do now is hope that it didn’t have the time to spread. I’ll phone the vet tomorrow and make an appointment for having Boeing xrayed, to make sure everything is the way it should be. And probably there will be continuous xrays every now and then to make sure all is good. I can’t imagine not having her with me, I just can’t. She’s my baby and has helped me through some hard times, and she’s always there. I’m worried.

But for now she’s all happy and bouncy and curious, this is her and the wooden lemming I brought back for my boyfriend:
