At least for now . I mean , I ' m trying to be realistic here ... cancer does n't always just go away when you remove the tumor . But the placement of this tumor ( under her front leg at the shoulder joint ) was such that I would never have detected it until it was large enough to impede movement ... and the vet believes they caught it before it spread . There 's still a probability that more tumors and more problems will crop up ... but we have a reprieve .

How is the narrator feeling about the diagnosis ?
They are optimistic .
