Dr. Williams, Thanks for relieving my anxieties about Axel's tumor. I was quite worried about him. 95% benign sounds like a good number to me. While I dearly love all my "kids", Axel is somewhat special to me. He even sleeps in a drawer in the dresser next to my bed or on a blanket on the floor between my bed and the dresser. I often wake in the middle of the night and reach over to scratch his head. I will call my vet tomorrow and set up the surgery for the 15th. Cindy [Posted in FML issue 1186]
