Mammory Tumor Question

[OldsGal]

Hey all!

Frankie Jean developed a what I am sure is a mammory tumor under her armpit. I decided not to have it surgically removed for different reasons. In any event it was growing pretty large and was spongy and firm. Well I noticed last night that it has seemingly gotten smaller. It is not as large and it is now soft and saggy. Is is possible for a tumor to shrink in size? It is still there just not as big.

I had a tumour on Rafiki where I could feel it one week and then not the next. This was a recurring tumour for her, on the exact spot the other one was removed. But it went on like this for months...

But usually a tumour will "hide" for a bit but it will grow, they never disappear completely.

Same here, I've seen spongy kind of tumours shrink but then come back.
How old is your girl? I'm wondering if it's growing with estrogen surges and if she's past the menopause surge then maybe it will totally slow down.

Frankie Jean is a rescue so her age is unknown but I have had her for a a year and a half and at the time we got her we were estimating her to be 4 to 6 months so she some where close to 2 years.

So perhaps she's done with her estrogen surges? It would be great if the tumour will grow very slow now.
