This is sad news, but you did suspect that something was seriously wrong,
didn't you?  This is the time to make her remaining time count while she is
well.  Do everything she likes, give her treats and yummy food, spoil her
and cuddle her.
I'm so sorry about the news,  but in 1-2 years you can definitely make her
life happy.

Oh no!  I'm so sorry to hear this.  We're sending mega purrs your way.  I
wish there were something more I could do to comfort you.

Hugs,

Oh I am SO sorry :(  Purrs to both of you. I hope you can keep her
comfortable a long time. HUGS.

I am so very sorry to hear this. :o(

We'll keep her and you in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm very sorry to hear that Willow is so ill, Elizabeth. Purrs to you
and your family and to Willow.  It did sound as if there was a serius
problem somewhere, but I'm sorry it's the big C. Give Willow all the
love you can, she'll need it, poor dear.

Melissa

I'm so very sorry to hear that. :-(

I am so sorry.  Peace and comfort for both of you.

a fool talks because he has to say something.

SO sorry to hear this, I appreciate all too well what an awful shock it
is

Willow as possible.

Oh no!  Of course you are shattered.  But look at it this way (I know, easy
to say) you have some time to enjoy your precious Willow and continue to
give her a wonderful quality of life and shower Willow with a lot of love in
the meantime.

Purrs and prayers that Willow remains comfortable and happy. We know she
will be well-loved.

Sad news. Hope it helps to know we are all sending our most healing wishes
and purrs.

That's such sad news.  I know too well how you must feel.  It's awful
to have to hear such devastating news.  But you can take some comfort
in that one to two years is a large chunk of time in a cat's lifespan,
and a good amount of time for us, too.

So sad to read this.  One to two years may not be long enough, but at least
it sounds like you may have more time together than you might have expected.
Annie

Purrs, prayers, and blessings to you both, to heal bodies and spirits.

Be strong for your dear Willow, and most important of all, fill her up with lots
of good care and love, love above all. You will be surprised how much it can
heal.

Blessed be,
Baha

Oh, no, Elizabeth! I'm so sorry to read this news. I was so hoping it
would turn out to be something minor. We will be purring hard for you both.

I'm very sorry to read this news.  Many purrs for you both to have a lot of
quality time together.
Christine

So sorry to hear this news :-((
I've got a cat called Willow too, and if something ever happens to her
it will be devastating.
Purrs for you, and for her time left to be as happy and comfortable as
possible.

Deb.

so sorry
- I am happy though that you have more time together. I hope you will have
many more wonderful experiences and good memories and that Willow will be as
comfortable as possible as long as possible.

 We're so sorry to hear this devastating news.  Purrs on their way
for you and Willow.  I know you'll give her all the love and care
possible.  When my daughter's kitty was diagnosed with cancer, she
told us that "she's not dying of cancer, she's living with cancer."
I'd like to think of Willow that way.  Hugs.

I am so sorry.  Purrs that Willow beats the odds and is with you much
longer than they think (it DOES happen!) and purrs for your shattered
heart.

Purrs and gentle headbutts being sent to you and Willow in the days and

her quality of life remains high for as long as possible and the you are
give many years to make the memories with Willow that will last for the

I was so hoping it would be negative.
We are sending lots of purrs and best wishes for Willow to surprise the vets
and live much much longer and we are sending lots of gentle hugs for you, M
Elizabeth,

I am saddened by Willow's DX.  However, Willow should have a lot of quality
time left.  My Mario was dx'd with the same think a little over a year a go
and is doing fine.   He is 16 now and is also diabetic.  He is on Leukeran
for the cancer (lymphoma).

I'm so sorry to read this. :(  One thing to remember even when it's
so hard, is to keep your spirits up around her because she'll pick up
on negativity and sadness. Do it for her. You can! Hang in there and
she's in good hands with you.

I'm so sorry to read this.  I hope the treatment enables her to enjoy a
good quality of life.  It's hard to deal with knowing that she won't be
with you as she should be.  I think all you can do is to try to take
things one day at a time and try as best as you can to live in the
"now" instead of the future.  On any given day you give her all the
lovin' you can and focus on how much you are enjoying her company and
try to set aside what may happen tomorrow or next week or next month or
whatever.

I'm terribly sorry. Unfortunately, I don't recognize Lucotran.

All I can say is that lymphoma therapy is constantly improving in
humans.

I am so sorry to read this. :o( Prayers and purrs for you and Willow, so
the treatment regimen you embark on will buy her as much quality time as
it's humanly possible to have.

Melody had lymphoma, but in her thorax (chest cavity). By the time it
showed any symptoms, it was inoperable, as the mass in her chest cavity
was far too big. But palliative care (prednisolone tablets daily and a
shot of l-asparagenase (sp) every three weeks) bought her 7 good months.
It might not sound like much, but her original progosis was 3-6 months, so
she beat the odds. *AND* those months were GOOD... she was her normal
self, playing and being a lap fungus and purring the house down.

May you have LOTS AND LOTS of good months to come.

Donna, Captain, and Stanley

Hugs and purrs that you get through this and she has a GOOD two or
more years with you

I'm so very sorry to hear that. Purrs on the way.
