Just to keep everyone informed on how my guy is doing. Sprite, my melleri, was found not to have cancer. Well they don't think so anyway. We are not going to do a biopsy because it doesn't matter, they cannot operate where it is located, which is right on the pelvic bone. But he doesn't seem to be in too much pain and he is taking pain meds daily, so as long as he is eating and seems happy he will be with us for a while longer. We don't know how long because we still don't know what caused the tumor or if will continue to grow. But for now he is still with us and happily eating his hornworms. Thanks for all who answered my thread and helped.

Debby

Glad to hear they don't think it is malignant!! Has he regained any use of the leg?

Debby, I'm so glad that it isn't cancer! I hope all goes well from here on out. Does it appear to be continuing to grow?
