Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Cancers vary in their treatability and aggression.

Even if all the tumour was removed, there would be no guarantee it wouldn't come back.

Any difficulty walking ATM, is probably due to the fact the dog is still recovering from a fairly big operation.

Now it's just a case of monitoring the dog (with the help of the vet) to see how aggressive the tumour is.
Hopefully the dog will die of old age before the tumour does anything.

Dogs are complete cnts with their unconditional love. 7 years ago I was walking my dog in Sydenham Wells Park. The dog ran up to an elderly man, sitting on a bench, and he started fussing it.

Man: "Lovely dog. Unfortunately, both my wife and dog died earlier this year.

I really miss that dog"
