Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2007not looking good for Muriel
About October last year, I found a lump between Muriel's front legs. She's about 17 so, figuring that if it was cancerous it needed immediate action, I took her to the vet straight away. The vet removed a greyish blob, couldn't guess what it was - she initially thought it might have been an airgun pellet - but took away the adjacent breast tissue and one nipple just in case. It turned out to be an adenocarcinoma (i.e. much the same as the commonest type of human breast cancer). This has a very bad prognosis, but for a few months it looked like she'd dodged the bullet. She developed a couple of what felt like skin warts or moles over the next few months but they didn't enlarge. She's been perfectly fit, you'd never guess her age. I've just found another lump on her other side that feels just like the original one, well under the skin. Doesn't look good at all. We'll get her to the vet this week but I doubt there's much that can be done. The one positive factor is that since the original lump was encapsulated with a poor blood supply, her system must be good at fighting this. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 > About October last year, I found a lump between Muriel's front > legs.

I'm so sorry to read your post:-( Our gang purrs up a storm for the fighter Muriel and for you. Purrs from Inge and the catgang SignatureCatManiacs World: http://www.gwsystems.com/inge >> I've just found another lump on her other side that feels just >> like the original one, well under the skin.

We took her to the vet, who found a few other small lumps, but all small and superficial, nothing that palpably affects any internal organs. Since chemo does nothing for this and there are too many to operate on if they are in fact cancerous, we can just wait. She's in such good general health that she could hang in there for a very long time. As long as the crunchies keep coming and she gets to sleep on the pillow as my furry nightcap she doesn't give a damn. I do hope that trying to wash the top of my head at 3am is a passing phase. (We took her in the same basket as Chloe, who needs a general checkup and a dematting under anaesthetic - Chloe is so timid we figured it was better for her to go with a friend, and it worked, neither of them gave a single meow on the way there. Chloe is still at the vet's until they can schedule a time for her). ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 Get better purrs on the way...the sweet kitty! she wants to groom her big kitten in the small hours of the night!

Many purrs for Muriel to get through this for a second time, and have a few more happy years with you all. Deb.

I am sending purrs that it is just a lipoma, rather that what it appears to be. Ginger-lyn |
