Lea...  Just got back from another vet visit, and this time all the results are hopeful sounding.  X-rays of her lungs show no visible tumors.  Dr. C. did a fine needle aspiration of one of her lymph nodes, and there's not visible sign of malignancy there (though the slides are now out for cytology).  Next step: appointment with an oncologist on Wednesday morning.

Lea continues to look and behave like a completely well, but slightly ancient dog.  We took off her “cone of shame” this morning, and she's very happy about that...

What a knucklehead!
