Dr Pam.........If you could take a look at this post and see if you can provide any clarity, it would be sincerely appreciated.
THANK YOU!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Unfortunately I would trust the second biopsy of the actual limb. The pre-op cytology only gets superficial cells and sarcoma cells all tend to look alike. I have never relied on the alkphos results; these were wrong even on my own dog. The needle biopsy was non-diagnostic because they missed the lesion or did not get enough bone which is also common. I probably would have done it too on such a young dog but on older dogs with bone lesions I typically just send the limb.
I am sorry; this cancer sucks.

Dr. Pam your expertise is so valuable! Thank you for the education, those lab reports are Greek to me!
