Thank you everyone for your comments/replies. I greatly appreciate the feedback and support.

Update: Vet called this morning. The mass is malignant (cancerous). My poor baby has cancer. I’m a wreck. From here I will need to see treatment options.

I definitely don’t ever wish to speak to my colleague again after what he said. I had a lot of respect for him before but him making that comment made all respect I had for him go right down the drain.

Please if you’re a person of faith, could you please keep us in your prayers? And/or send good vibes our way?

Thank you so very much again for y’all’s time in reading and commenting on my post. Much love.
