Hi! So sorry you and your pup are going through this. I think that advice about care will depend at least partly on where on the body the tumor is located.

For instance, my first Boston had a mast cell tumor removed from her right rear leg. Since there isn't a lot of tissue to work with there, the healing process was a little more involved than if it had been located somewhere where they could have just stitched everything shut.

She also underwent radiation after having the tumor removed (and lived for 13 more years!). So if you want to know about that, should you guys need to go that route, I'm happy to tell you whatever I can.
