Bunjii:

I took him to the vet this afternoon. They say it is a fast-growing tumor. It is about the size of a plum now. The schedule was to have surgery on Monday but my concern showed and they decided to do it tomorrow (Friday) morning. He will probably come home on Saturday.

The difficulties:

1. The healing will be onerous. The surgery requires cutting open the muscle in order to remove the mass. Healing will be painful and take some time. He won't be able to stretch or walk on it well.
2. He will have to be confined to a closed room with a litter box and food, water and a clean bed. I will keep him in my studio or the guest room.
3. We don't know yet if it is benign or the other kind of tumor.

Your prayers are solicited.

-Thanks, Hobbie
