I just called the vet (talking to Dean) and indeed, they already had the results back! It isn't good news, the lump was a carcinoma of undetermined origin. It is apparently one of the worst types of malignant tumours! But they don't know where it came from.
Dean said that luckily, the margin they had taken off was good. And if the tumour comes back (or probably rather "when"), then it will most likely be in the same area! So although I will check him over all over, I will keep a special eye on his chin/throat area of course.
The other problem with the tumour (which was apparently very messy), was that it was very close to the jugular vein, which means that it might have spread up or down in the blood stream...
Not the news I was waiting for at all! And particularly not before Christmas... But luckily, Sunny is doing great and he doesn't know anything about it all! I love you so much, my brave little boy!
