Will it be hard for a 12 year old dog to recover from breast cancer surgery


Will it be hard for a 12 year old dog to recover from breast cancer surgery?
My 12 year old maltese has breast cancer. She has about three lumps altogether about the size of halfmy thumb. The vet did a blood test on her and she's okay for surgery. We're worried that with her old age it'll be harder for her to recover. She's really active now...like reallly active. It would be nice if anyone could give me details of your dog's recovery to surgery or any personal experiences from such eg. recovery process etc

Your dog is 12 damn years old, it should be dead by now.
2 :
Being active is a good sign. Why not you wait and see what happens to your dog? As ur dog reaches this age, dont expect it to live much longer.
3 :
Do not make the dog go through hard times in life, just put it down. Good luck
