Prayers for Peanut

[Rescued One]

Hi All,

My sweet boy Peanut, who will be 2-ish this summer, has sprouted a lump on his left side behind his foreleg. We have a vet visit scheduled for next Friday. Prayers and/or good thoughts for a benign outcome are appreciated. Peanut has already lost a leg after a playpen escape that ended badly for him; he is far too active for the "keep him quiet for 6 weeks and let it heal" option (he was trying to run on his wheel the night he broke it!). He is now Mr Special Olympics in the new inescapable playpen, and puts my other hamster to shame with his high energy levels. I will not put him under the knife again, so I'm hoping this is something we can all live with.

I’m so sorry - I also hope it is something he can live with, with pain relief. X

Sad news: Peanut has been diagnosed with a malignant sarcoma. Due to its position over his shoulder (same side as his hind leg amputation) surgery would immobilize him, and intratumor chemo is prohibitively expensive. So I am enjoying my remaining time with my bright "lumpy bumpy" boy and will do the right thing when his quality of life starts to decline Thanks everyone for all the support.

I'm so sorry. So unfair.
