Your poor dragon, that wont be fun. I am sorry she is going to have to go through this.
I wish I could offer knowledge on that, but I haven't had to go through that with a dragon,
luckily. I am bumping this because there have been members here on the board with dragons
who had stomach cancer. You are right, a lot of them did not make it. However, if the cancer
or if it is cancer, has not spread then I would say the prognosis is very good really. She would
need after surgery supportive care of course, but as long as the vet is skilled in this surgery I
think she should be just fine.
I am sure that others can offer more advice for you. When are you anticipating getting the
surgery done?

Because those meds. can cause or contribute to yeast infection since they wipe out the good gut flora [ bacteria ] So it's too bad she's been on so many antibiotics. And they charged you $1000 for bloodwork ? $ 3000 so far for cleaning her teeth ? Yikes ! BTW, are you positive that Taro is female ? The blocky head looks like a male [ although that's not always an indicator. Here's how to sex them if you are not 100 % sure.

One last question, do you have the xray showing the tumor to post here ?

Bless Taro! I am happy to hear that she pulled through the surgery well.
That is cautiously optimistic...hopefully the biopsies come back without any cancer. Poor
girl, that had to have been rough but it sounds like she is doing good right now, having gone
through extensive surgery.
How long will she be at the vets?
Keep us posted on her.
