We collected a sample of the bloody fluid but have read in previous posts that it is not rewarding for neoplasia. We are posting an image of a mass. The image at the time was “perfect”, however because the ekg was not hooked up to patient it took a 0.3 sec clip. (Still not sure what happened). Anyways, I was hoping for a little confirmation that this is most likely a mass and that hemangiosarcoma is the most likely diagnosis.

Research on sonopath says that 8 month survival time with surgical debulking and chemo can be expected.

Thanks. Bret
