Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2008Nanki-Poo: Not good news
The vet finally called. She got the cytology report, and it doesn't look good. She said it isn't completely definitive, but it looks like cancer. Even worse, the woman who did the analysis says it doesn't look like a primary site. Since his thyroid was enlarged, the vet had me bring him in so she could aspirate it. She decided to do some sort of scan before the surgery, so I had to leave him there. They'll call me to pick him up, probably around 5:30. She'll probably schedule surgery for early next week, unless her findings indicate a different approach.

Thank you, Victor. We'll take all we can get. Joy They didn't call me to pick up Nanki-Poo until almost 6:00, and then I had to wait a long time. I expected to arrive, have them bring out his carrier, and leave, so I was getting nervous. Finally I asked the receptionist if the reason I had to wait was because the doctor wanted to talk to me. When she said yes, I was sure it was really bad, so I was really stressed out by the time I was taken into a back room to see the doctor. There was nobody in the room when they left me there, and nowhere to sit except a stool. I sat down on that. When the doctor came in, I stood up, but she told me I could sit there because she wanted to show me Nanki's x-rays. Then she said, "You don't have to sit down, because it isn't bad news. I just had to give bad news to somebody else." That relieved a lot of the stress. She showed me several x-rays of his chest and abdomen, and none of them showed anything wrong. She expects the results of the biopsy on Monday. Then she'll call me and we'll discuss surgery. Nanki-Poo hates using a litter box, and after all thsoe hours of being cooped up, I expected him to head outdoors as soon as I let him out of the carrier at home. However, it was past their dinnertime, so I took him in to open it. He headed for the door, but when I opened the refrigerator, he watied for the food. He ate most of it before he went out. Lindy went out too, and they stayed out for about an hour. Nanki-Poo came in first, which was unusual. He actually got up on my lap almost immediately, which relieved me greatly. I expected another day or two of being ignored, after this latest indignity. He spent quite a bit of time on my lap. Joy > Nanki-Poo came in first, which was unusual.

After I tormented Licky by chasing him around the house, lifting up the bed and taking away his precious hiding place (causing him to yowl with terror), and finally catching him, putting him in a carrier, and taking him you-know-where - I expected not to see a hair of him for hours and hours. But instead, he was more lovey than ever. Go figure!
