sraunabout an hour ago.
The MAST cell tumor had spread to at least his right lymph node, and that one almost literally exploded over the last week. It started weeping a pale pink fluid overnight Monday/Tuesday, he stopped eating, and looked like he was in pain.
The two girls are both about seven now, so I shouldn't have to do this for another 5-8 years.
We'll miss him.
