I'm having a cry but once that's out my system I will be fine. I have to be strong for Roxy and when I'm upset, she gets upset and that won't do her any good.

Absolutely devastated.
She is being referred to the Glasgow vet school to have it cut out because of where it is, otherwise my own vet would do it. They are amazing up there.
We don't know yet if it's grade 1, 2 or 3 or whether or not she will need chemo. We'll have to wait and see.
Please send some of those positive vibes for Roxy. We need them. Thanks.
Quite a few of us on here have had dogs with MCT and are still here.Star had a grade 1 removed 15 months ago with good margins so no need for any further treatment. There is a chance of further ones appearing but we will deal with them as and when.
This is a good website which explains them in simple terms.
