Hello All -
Today Lycia went in for her whole body scan.. She came out of anesthesia pretty ok - she was dizzy and disoriented for about an hour but perked right back up and was looking for food stat.
I'm SOOOO happy to say that the vet believes the mass has SHRUNK by 50% and that's with out medication. He isn't confirming anything to me yet until the films and the biopsy results come back from a specialist in the United States.
but all and all, my vet looked pretty darn happy - even if he didn't say so. =)
When I get the results on Monday, I'll let you all know.

actually….no.
I haven't heard back from the specialist, but me and Lycia are just pluggin along. She seems to be doing beautifully, and I'm not a expert but im pretty sure her masses have been getting smaller. =)
All and all I'm a happy girl, we'll have to wait and see. Funny thing was when they went into do the scan - my vet said he gave Lycia enough sedative to pacify any normal dog - but she just refused to go down =) He said he has never seen anything like it - she has that Basenji iron will of course.

Helloooooooo!
I have brilliant news. :0) I only got a message from the vet, I'll be talking to him later but he told me on my voicemail that they are only good results!! So we are in the clear people. =) And her mass just up and disappeared along with her infection =)
thank you all so much for your warm words, thoughts, prayers. You guys were such a big light these last few weeks. I feel very lucky to be involved in such a supportive community.
our very best,
Lauren & Lycia -

Yes! So glad to hear it!
Any of our experienced basenji folk know what would cause masses to appear then disappear like that?

inflammation causes swelling that will disappear when the body gets rid of whatever caused the inflammation (like infection, trauma..) and recovers :)

Wonderful! We have had too much sadness here the last couple of weeks, I was hoping Lycia would break that trend and bring us some happy news!
