Guarded optimism

Hope everyone who celebrates it had a good Thanksgiving.

Not to turn extrasonic into a cat blog, but a quick update is in order - Oberon saw the veterinary oncologist on Friday, who said that he tended to agree that Oberon does not have cancer. His interpretation of the results are that Oberon has a mild birth defect of the blood vessels in his bladder, and that now that it has been removed surgically, he'll simply grow out of it. We are getting a fourth opinion regarding Oberon's biopsy at a pathology lab of the oncologist's choosing. Assuming that they also agree it's not cancer, we will continue to monitor Oberon's condition with regular ultrasounds but will very likely be out of the woods.

Thanks to those who shared their encouragement; we're very attached to our pets and it has been a stressful time. Back to your regularly scheduled blogging!
