Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2007The Biopsy results :-(
Well, we knew the cancer was back, but were hoping that it was the Anaplastic Malignant Oliodendroglioma (what I call AMG or MAG depending on how I write it that day). Doogie told me today that the biopsy shows borderling GBM. Glioblastoma Metaforme is the worst kind you can get. The usual life span after this is 3-6 months. Since it is borderline, it should be longer, but not by much. I'm not surprised by the diagnoses. I was expecting to get bad news. I'll have to love him all the more for the time I've got with him. Damn it. No one should have to go through this. Rob is feeding himself today. Even with his problems, he still eats more neatly than I do when I'm healthy. Part of the problem is that Rob doesn't like to get help when he needs it. Just now, he had a problem, wet himself, stripped himself down to the bare bones and was trying to get a new gown and dress himself. Both the nurse and I were shocked and amused at the same time. Dr Ewend is out west doing dr things, so will talk to us when he gets back next week. We can't do much of anything until we get the siezures stopped. Then it will go on from there. I'm sorry that it isn't good news group, but at least Rob will be taken care of for the time he has left.

Pam, I am *so* sorry. I don't know what to say - well, no words are enough anyway even if I could think of some right now. Cancer is such an awful illness. You may think you have beaten it, sometimes for years. It's such a secretive disease. It sneaks around your body without you being aware of it for a long time. I send purrs and prayers for strength to cope. I'm so sad about this. Tweed {{{{{{{{{{ Pam and Rob }}}}}}}}}} >I'm not surprised by the diagnoses.

It does sound very much like Rob is still Rob. And I know that is the most important and precious thing to you. May you have many more days and hours and moments together. Jo .... ...

Please know that we're with you through this for the long haul. Otherwise I could fill the page with meaningless platitudes and worn cliches, but you are smarter than that and deserve better. *Hugs* Vicky (with complimentary tears included) OMG Pam, I'm so sorry to hear this. you're right no one should ever have to go through this.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Pam. Comforting purrs to you and Rob. What a rotten break. Melissa Pam, Sorry to hear of the early results for Rob. Please know that we are sending purrs, doggie drool, good thoughts, etc. your way. Diane Pam, what does "borderline" mean in this case? Does that mean they're not sure, or that it's changing into GBM? I hope Rob is feeling better and keeps up his stubborn streak. I'm sure that will help him in the long run. I also hope he'll be able to choose a different time frame and you have a lot of time left with him.
