When Daniela Stolfi-Tow found out that her beloved Golden Retriever had cancer, she was understandably devastated. After all, our animals are almost like our babies. Lily was the baby of Daniela and she was only given a small chance of survival from the vet. Luckily, this story has a happy ending that we are so happy to share!

Daniela lives in Oahu, Hawaii with her spouse and her pets. One day, they noticed that Lily was having a problem standing up. They decided to rush her to the vet where a tumor was found on her spleen. Her condition was quite serious. In fact, she also had internal bleeding and was dealing with anemia. Lily needed to have an emergency blood transfusion. If she didn't, she could pass away at any moment. It was all happening so very fast.

Unfortunately, the family learned of even more news after the transfusion was complete. Once Lily was stabilized, the family learned that the dog had a condition known as hermangiosarcoma. This is a common problem with Golden Retrievers that comes on very fast. Lily needed surgery right away.

There was still a catch to the surgery. According to the youtube video,  It didn't necessarily mean that the dog would live longer. The vets told the family that it was just a 10% chance that it was the benign kind. Even if the surgery was successful, Lily may only have a few more months of life left.  The family was told that the veterinarian had never seen a case in which the tumor was benign in her 25 years of emergency surgery.

While the chances were slim, the couple made the decision to give the surgery a try. A six-pound tumor was taken from Lily's spleen during the surgery. Afterward, she seemed as if she was getting better. However, the couple was warned that they should not get their hopes up too high. The vet said that her good condition could be temporary.

Daniela and her husband still hoped and prayed that the rest results would be benign. When they finally came in, Daniela had to tell Lily the truth. She knew that Lily just had to hear the news for herself.
