Default Help ! Need advice on tumor/cancer diagnosis with my dog

My 9yr old schipperke just had a tumor removed from the front leg. Vet
told me it is very difficult to get tumor this size removed from
extremities with any margin so it will likely re-appear she said
radiation may help but was very vague about what I should do from
here..

Here is the info from the lab report from a full histopathology. If
you can offer any advice I would appreciate it.

description:
the mass is large lobulated nonencapsulated and is composed of loose
and dense areas of atypical mesenchymal cells arranged in whorls and
aplisades in the subcutis. These cells vary from spindle to polygonal
with moderate amounts of eosinophilic cytoplasm. Nuclei are rond to
oveal with one to two ditinct nuclei and finely fnaular chromatin.
mitotic figurs are approx 3 per 1o 400x fields. tumor cells extend to
surgical margin.

microscopic findings: nerve sheath tumor (low grade malignancy)

comments: nerve sheath tumors are locally agressive with high potential
for local recurrence following incomplete excision. Tumor cells extend
to surgical margin. surgical excision with 1 to 2 mm margins is
recommended if possible.
