oh Sherrill I am so sorry to hear this.  My dog Brewster just had to have
surgery for a tumor and it turned out to be a nerve sheath tumor.  I just 
have to have him checked for it every three months though and hope it 
doesn't come back.  My first dog ended up with cancer and it is a very hard 
thing to see them go through, you feel so helpless,  angry and sad.  Good 
luck with this and know that we are all here for you and thinking of both of 
you.
