[Dailydrool] Advice or opinions

[via Dailydrool]

I know many have posted about their dogs with masses on the spleen but here is my situation and I would appreciate any suggestions, comments, opinions. 
After just losing our Daisy we found a lump in the exact same spot as Daisy had on our Maggie, so off to the vet we  went, well luckily after aspiration it is a fatty tumor. But now for the bad part, Bailey on the other hand the vet felt a thickening of the spleen, she explain that it could be that the spleen was folded or a mass, then proceeded to say that she has removed masses from the spleen but usually it only gives the dog an extra 30-60 days. Well I choose to have an xray which showed some enlargement of the spleen, could not really say it was a mass unless we do an ultrasound. Next great news was she has a 2-3 grade heart mumur. Our vet treats per symptom and usually at grade 4, but did give the option of starting her on Allporinal. Her suggest as far as the spleen was to take an xray in 3 months to see if it has gotten larger or before if she shows any symptoms. 
  
So that was a rather hard bit of news to swallow less than 2 weeks after losing Daisy. So can anyone share their experience with either heart murmur or spleen problems or removals.
