Hi, I am new to tripawd, so let me introduce me and my fur baby.  Winston is 7 yeras old and had a hip implant put in at 10 months.  Recently the implant broke through his pelvis.  Cancer was found, but undetermined type - undifferentiated.  Since the initial diagnosis and three specialist, the consensus is a hemipelvictomy.  Basically they will be removing the leg and 1/2 a pelvis.  Some hamstring muscle will be used to cover the abdomen.  All i want is my little man to be pain free for the preciuos time he has left.  I don't expect  cure anymore, but want to keep the spirit happy while he's here.  Has anyone else had this surgery performed.  A success story would be great right about now.
