I don't know whether to be pleased or not! A couple of hours ago I nipped
back on to rpca for updates on Sam etc and instead of having more than 2
thousand posts unread all were greyed out as if read.
Aaargh. I now have no idea if anyone replied to any of my posts or what
anyone said recently.

I haven't a clue how this happened and I am sorry if any of you were
expecting a reply and I ignored you.

I have to say it's a novelty to have only 11 posts outstanding but at the
same time I hope I didn't miss a request for purrs.

You didn't miss a post from me regarding Sam, but thank you for thinking
about him. I do appreciate your comments about asking the vet if Sam's
tumor is a primary. I suspect it is but I'm going to ask anyway. The one
thing everyone agrees on is that feline osteoporosis is not as bad as canine
osteoporosis. I don't know that this is a good thing necessarily, but at
this point I'll take anything they'll give me. I'm sorry you lost one of
your dogs to this disease but I'm glad I have you to ask questions of when I
have them.

Hi Julie, it's a typo, right? Osteoporosis v. osteosarcoma?
I'm assuming that since you are still talking tumor, you meant
osteosarcoma. And more than likely, by the way, you are
right about it being a primary tumor because osteosarcoma
is by definition a primary bone tumor and any metastasis
or secondary tumors would come up most often in other
tissues like lung, liver, brain and other non-bone places.

Here's hoping it is resectable.

You have now confused me. I thought you said Sam had osteosarcoma.
Osteoporosis isn't nearly as serious.

I will try and help but I don't think I will be much use to you. As Pearl's
osteosarcoma was a secondary from her spleen and her shoulder had crumbled,
while she was under anaesthetic for the x-ray I told them not to let her
wake up.
For a primary I think there is more hope.

Hey, come on guys. She's distraught, and made a mistake. Osteoporosis
is a much more common condition, so it's not surprising she wrote that
instead.
