Kristina and Zoe,

Yes, Mabel did have chondrosarcoma.  We were certainly relieved at that! 

Mabel went for 5 chemo treatments based on our vet's recommendation.  This was due to the probability that cancer would eventually return based on her young age (4, at the time).  We've been back in for check-up a few times and, thankfully, all has been clear. 

Mabel seems no worse for the wear after surgery except for tiring out more easily and needing help to scratch one of her ears Laugh

As I'm sure you know by now, the first few days after surgery can be really trying.  Our only advice would be to be patient and hang-in there!  Hopefully, you'll get a good report from your vet and can get things back to normal soon.

Best luck and good wishes!
