Weim with possible cancer

Hi, I am new here and was wondering if anyone has any info on cancer in dogs. My 17 month old female weim Lizzy, developed a growth under the skin on her top jaw bone area. It seemed to grow larger in just a few days. Also has one under her chin that was there a little longer. Took her to the vets and she put her on antibiotics and is hoping that maybe it is an infection but she doesn't seem to optimistic. She seems her normal self, eating and playing with our mixed breed dog but does have runny eyes and does have this dry type cough. I am sick over this and really afraid. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. She is scheduled for surgery for this on May 30th. Thanks, Michele
