We wanted to share the story of Sofia, a very sweet and special golden girl-she was in about a year ago for a routine wellness exam when the doctor palpated a swelling in her abdomen. It ended up being a mass on her spleen, and we decided with her mom to proceed with removing the spleen and associated mass. The risk of not removing the mass was rupture and internal bleeding, whether benign or malignant. Proving age is just a number, Sofia got through surgery and recovery with flying colors. We also got the best news when we got the results on the mass back and found out it was benign! Sofia was in the other day for this year’s wellness exam, and looks great! We are so proud of her, and happy that she is doing so well!
