Lea update...  She's home from surgery, and doing fine post-surgery.  Our vet (the wonderful Dr. C.) is expecting the biopsy results to show that the growth she removed was a melanoma, probably of a nasty variety.  We are steeled for bad news on this front, but hoping for better.  We won't know for sure until Friday or Saturday.  If it is melanoma, treatment would be fairly radical surgery in her mouth, and we're not sure what the chance of recurrence are.  She's an old dog, so anything “radical” is going to mean we have some very difficult choices to make...
