Hey there everyone!MAX'S MOM here...
I ask you to please bare with me and forgive me, in advance, but
today is a 'SWEET-BITTER' day for me...
(the 'Bitter' part I will explain later)
so let's begin with the "Sweet"...
I would like to say a really big
THANK YOU
to all my blogging friends for the support and encouragement you have given me over the many months of blogging and also with the voting process for the
AWESOME BLOG AWARD!
We are truly humbled and extremely honoured to receive this award from
and would also like to congratulate
on their similar award!
It has been (and is) a great privilege to have been involved in this process and also to be involved with Doggie-blogs in general. We are continually amazed at the friendship and culture of the doggie community. So THANK YOU to Mango for nominating us and also to ALL our friends for every part you played! You are ALL special, special people and we are extremely grateful to have you all in our lives!!!
---xXx---
Now for the 'bitter' part of this post...
It is the most incredible privilege to be able to spend a part of our lives with a beloved animal. It is that much more dramatic when that animal is one which has worked its way into the small corners of our identity - The place, where you and your pet, have formed a partnership where both your identities are inter-twined. Not many folk experience this in their lifetimes - some have been granted this special gift! You might have gathered that Max & I have one of these special partnerships.
When that little pup arrived in my life, 10 years ago, I knew that one day I would have to face the challenge of seperation.
Today I am scared!
The tumour is about 1.5cm big and is located near his right foreleg's armpit.
MAX will be going in for his surgery tomorrow morning and they are also likely to remove a large area of tissue around the site.
Quite frankly, I am petrified!
I know many folk have experienced this kind of news before and I realise both the positive and the negative ramifications of the knowledge available, but it still cuts deep!
"This is my dog
Nothing he lacks
My faithful companion...
this is my MAX!"

OMG.....i am so sorry to hear about Max's mast cell....i am very aware of these nasty little tumors.....is he being treated under an oncologist? have they taken radiographs of his lungs?....i know, i am asking too many questions...but, because this is my field, i can't help nyself.....i'm just worried about your beloved Max....
if you want, you can e-mail me privately...kksprecher@wisc.edu
positive energy coming your way!!!
xo
We will be eagerly waiting to hear that the surgery went well and the results. Looks your great vet caught it early.
P.S. - Don't these guys make us love them so much - that they scare us so much when something goes wrong.
Lots of paws crossed and Sibe Vibes.
Best wishes from Mom Margie, Saxy & Obi. I know what Max means to you Caryl, so know you will be very insecure tomorrow when he is at the surgery.
We will have you all in our prayers and thoughts, and will eagerly await news on his operation and prognosis.
Love you lots - Margie
The girls and my thoughts love and prayers are with you and max....love abbey...x
Max
Huge congratulations on your totally deserved award!
Well done, we all love you!
Oh but I am so sorry to heard that you have one of those nasty lumps. I am sure you will be brave and I do hope the surgery is successful. Just about this time last year I had a tumour the size of a plum removed from the base of my tongue. The vet said it might come back, but so far I've been OK. So sometimes it appears that these vets (not my favourite people) do know what they're doing and can help you a lot.
Gail and I will be thinking about you tomorrow.
Cheers, H.
Oh Caryl, you must be very distraught. We are thinking of you and Max with positive thoughts for a speedy recovery and hope it is not the serious kind. Please keep us updated. All our love from P E T (Pam, Eugene, Trevor).
I'm sorry to hear about the bitter news. This is a frightening time, but be assured that we'll all be here for you and your family through it all. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers, Max.
Congrats on your awesome blog award! Your blog quickly became one of my favorites and I'm glad that you were recognized for all the love and laughs that you continue to bless our dog blog community with.
Thinking of you Max and Mom! You must be scared :(
I've read that Mast Cell Tumors are pretty common in Goldens. I hope that you recover quickly!
Me and Mom are both thinkin' of you and Max today. Hopin' and prayin' that surgery goes well and there is no more cancer to be found.
(((HUGS))) to my Golden friend and his 2 leggers!

Maxdog, we will be thinking of you and keeping our paws crossed for you as you go through your surgery. We will be thinking of your mom as well as we know those humans are very fragile when it comes to us being sick or not well.
Hugs,

I understand so well how you feel. But, you're acting fast, and there's a good chance that the surgery will be a cure! Keep remembering that today.
Our paws are all crossed for you and we're sending good thoughts your way.
Dear Max and your Mom,
I am going to pray for you and if it's OK with you I would like to put you on my Paws Pray site. I am saying a prayer right now for your surgery to go fine and a speedy recovery. Good Luck Max, your friend, Deborah

Congrats on the award but more importantly we know how scary hearing the big "C" diagnosis from experience. One of our fosters came in with high grade mast cell cancer all over her but it was only on the skin. After 3 operations she is living the good life and it's been downgrades to the lowest level.
It's never easy having our loved ones (canine & human) deal with this horrible disease and we're pulling for Max. Take care and stay strong for him. we'll be thinking of you both.
Best regards,
Michelle, Sangtar & Kona
Max, Congrats on this big, important award, we couldn't agree more that you have an awesome blog in partnership with Caryl!
Now, this tumor is scary, I know, but I want you to be receiving our warmest thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery, and we know it will happen.
Kisses,
Stella
Awww Max - I am so sorry about your diagnosis - it's a good thing that the vet's going in there so fast to get those bad cells out of you - we have paws crossed big-time and will be thinking of you today.

Congrats on the award and it is wonderful that you and Huskee and Hershey got to share it.
Sadly we know only too well exactly what you are feeling as you face tomorrow. The good news is that it is small and hopefully it has been found early enough to get it all out of there. It is very easy for all of us to know the special bond you have with Max, we feel it everytime we visit your blog. We will be sending wonderful sibe vibes and lots of prayers for a successful surgery and a full recovery for Max. Please give the big guy a gentle hug from us and a snooter kiss from Mom.
Hugs and the very best of hope, the OP Pack and Mom

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I wish you could give you a hug for comfort, or sit with you at this time, but the distance makes that hard. Please remember that we are all thinking of you, and will keep Max close to our hearts! Please give an update when you can.

Dear Max and Mom,
So sorry to hear this news.
We´re thinking of you and praying for a succesful surgery and speedy recovery.
And Congrats on your Awesome Blog Award. You so deserved it.
lots of love
Thor and family
Jake's Mom here, I will be praying for you, Max, and the doctor as her performs the surgery.
Give Max a rub behind the ears for me.
Oh no Oh no Oh no! Max that sounds terrible. I looked at the link you had and it looks like this can vary from not so bad to absolutely horrible and we will keep our paws crossed that you are on the no so bad end. I worry about surgery of any kind but this sounds even more worrisome since they have to take a large area around the tumor too. Please keep us posted as much as you can. As for your mom I can only imagine how she feels. I have had my Moose for 2 and 1/2 years and lately have realized that he has worked his way into who I am and that is wonderful and scary at the same time. You are going to make me cry now so will just sign off with crossed paws, fingers toes and everything else!
We are thinking and praying for you Max (and Mama) for a safe surgery, quick healing and positive outcome!
The Mama, Dory and Bilbo
Congratulations on an awesome awrd Max..sorry to hear about your sore...we will keep you in our thoughs every day
Benny and Lily

Congratulations on recieving the award! I haven't been reading that long, but I know you deserve it!
I am so sorry to hear that Max has a tumor. Those are such scary words! As far as tumors go, however, my understanding is that they are some of the easiest to remove and recover from. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and Max! I have had the kind of relationship with a dog that you describe and I know that your heart must be heavy! Give Max a kiss from us and know we'll be pulling for you!
Congratulations on an Pawsome Award!!!
You and your Mum are in our prayers! We just know all will be well!
Love Tessa and Blu

Our congratulations on your shared receipt of the Awesome Blog Award go without speaking. You are so deserving and we are happy that you got the very special acknowledgement from your blogging friends. We hope that reflection on the receipt provides you with an awareness and frequent reminder of the community of friends you have established ... the same friends who are here for you now as you face this scary time with your beloved Max. We are so sad to hear of the recent discovery of the mast cell, but so grateful for prompt and aggressive treatment. We'll certainly be hoping for positive - no, perfect - results and we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers as you go through the next few days.
Love, and so very hopeful,
Jake and Fergi xxoo
Firstly, Congrats on the Awesome blog award. As you know, yoou had our vote! Totally deserved.
Secondly, oh no. Max's mom, I have been through CA with my Tess-now at the bridge.(I did a post on her Sept of last year. She was a heart dog-you know what I mean) Her's was lymphoma. I DO remember the feelings that just ran rampant through me. I understand my friend. Now, please know we will be holding y'all in our hearts. We are here for you. We may be across a huge ocean, but we are with you in spirit, and in the heart. We will be praying for the surgery to go very well.
My heart aches for you, as I remember hearing the words for the first time, I know what you felt when you heard them. Stay strong, and stay as positive as you can. One day at a time. Enjoy the moment. And meanwhile the dogs will howl to heaven for Max, and I will pray for the beautiful Golden boy & his Mom.

congratulations on your award
Max's mum-
What scary news this must be for you! It so happens that bulldogs are particularly prone to mast cell tumors, and one year ago I was convinced Brutus had one, Did lots of reading on the internet and in professional resources I luckily have resources to as I am a human doctor.
Good news was the result for me. First, because Mast cell tumors tend to be the least invasive of cancers, and second, it was not a tumor but a reaction to a vaccine (distemper) in Brutus' case.
Best wishes to you. Even if it is a Mast cell tumor, don't dismay... Shouldn't be anything that should have any effect on your wonderful relationship wiht Max!
Please keep us posted!!
Michelle & Brutus
I am stopping by here for my first time... Max is a beautiful doggie. He has a beautiful, silky coat. I hope he will come through the surgery with flying colors and the prognosis will be good. I will check back.
Congratulations on the awards. We think you deserve them. We are sorry to hear about the "tumor" We pray all will be well. Sounds like you found it early. That should be helpful. We will be thinking of you all tomorrow with the surgery.
Love and licks

Max,
We will say our paw prayers for you tonight.

Oh Max... I have been reading your blog for a few months now and enjoy it very much. The shocker for me was the picture of the bump on your skin. My Echo is a 10 year old American Eskimo and was just in for his senior checkup and I showed the vet THE VERY SAME LOOKING BUMP and he just said to keep an eye on it if it should get bigger etc. Now I am thinking I better get another opinion?
Sending you lots of great vibes for a quick surgery and fast recovery!
we have all fingers, toes and paws crossed that you will beat the nasties! stay strong dear max
Sending lots of love and support to you and Max - stay strong buddy, we are thinking of you.
Love

We hope the surgery goes well and they get all of that nasty thing!

You are so handsome, I'm so sure that your handsomeness and sweetness will make the surgery go well and you'll have a speedy recovery.

Hey Caryl,
Two of our Goldens have has cancerous mast cell tumors removed. Jubal, now 10 years old, had his tumor discovered and surgically remover about 5 years ago; he had 2 subsequent "bumps" removed from his face and foreleg about a year later. Once a cancerous tumor is diagnosed the vets are quick to remove any subsequent groeths. Both of the subsequent growth were biopsied as beneign. Homer J. is now 12. He had his tumor diagnosed about 6 months after we adopted him about 3 years ago from a rescue shelter. His was on his side and the vet removed a considerable amount of surrounding tissue. He had no subsequent lumps or growths and hasn't had any related problems since. We have lost 2 Goldens to cancer, Gordon age 15 and chance age 7. Both of their cancers were completely internal with no external lumps being present. Chance had panceatgic cancer which spread to other organs and Gordon simply developed a softball sized tmor within his abdomen. We had about 8 weeks notice with Chance but none with Gordon. We will be in you corner for this fight and our thoughts and prayers are with you in these troubled times.

Our thoughts are with you. Mom and dad know how hard this is. (Golden Honey supertrooperhoney.blogspot.com)
Let's hope and pray for a positive surgery. And more days of Max Time!

Oh dear God in heaven - I haven't been blogging much this past week and just found out about Max. I can barely type through the tears. Please know that my constant prayers are with you and Max now and every day - every day!

Hi there, I'm new to your blog, but I know of it through my dear friend Coco. I just read Max's story about his cancerous tumor and it brought painful tears to my eyes, as I've had two beloved cats that were lost to cancer, Phoebe just as recently as last June. Phoebe's death came on all of a sudden, one day she was fine, the next she went downhill. When she was brought to the vets, that's when we found out that she had a cancerous tumor in her mouth and that it was too far gone to have anything done about it. The best thing for her was to put her out of her misery that same day, something that still haunts me. I am praying with all my might that Max makes it through this well and goes on to live many more happy years.
I also read about your Mom's passing and I wish to express my condolences to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Nadine
