Are you talking about Clarissa or Earthy1's hamster?

If its Clarissa, then no, i don't have a photo of her standing with the tumor. It grew very fast within a couple of months. A mammary tumor was ruled out at the first examination because of its location.

I can imagine Earthy may have the same dilemma with a biopsy than i had with Clarissa. It needed aneasthesia. So my way of thinking was that rather than go for the biopsy just as well remove the whole tumor.
