I think I am missing something here - is the tumor in the skin? Is it hard, or freely movable.

If it is a skin tumor, it is likely not affecting anything systemically.

I'd like to know a bit more about this case - some thing just aren't adding up.

With kindest regards,

Bruce Williams, DVM

And hope it will shrink, Dr. Jeff said it is in a very bad place, since it is behind the ear and so close to a lot of major stuff. As weak as he is right now, I don't think he would make it through another surgery and Dr. Jeff said it didn't look good for surgery either.
