I know he's not a vet but having always valued his opinion I asked him to have a look at Mikey. He gave him a bit of a going over feeling for swollen glands etc (Can't say the vet did that!) and then he had a good feel of the lump. He said he thought it was very unusually and was quite taken aback at how hard it was. He said as a Doctor he always considers how the patient is looking, and in the same light felt Mikey looked fit and well. Obviously I told him that the test had shown no cancer cells present and he came to the conclusion that it's a benign muscle tumor. He totally agreed that leaving well alone was the best course of action and felt that cutting into something like this was too risky. So I guess here the Doctor agreed with the Vet!
