Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2008Oh criminy, please Tony purrs
This is Bridget here in case you don't recognize the email. I have lost my connection to groups and am using google groups. Please use the email at the bottom to reply to me personally. I took Tony in for a dental this morning The good news - he came out of the anesthetic just fine The bad new - he has cancer and probably 3-8 weeks left to live. They didn't even do the dental once they found the lesion. I am so lost already thinking about when the time comes that I no longer have him with me. I have cried all day since the vet called me at work to tell me. There is one hope. That is that this - a slim chance - might be just an open sore. I will have antibiotics to give him for 10 days to see if it clears up. IF it doesn't, it is definitely cancer, if it DOES, YAHOO I have more time with him. Knowing the power of what this group is able to accomplish with purrs and prayers, I am asking for them for Tony with all my heart. And, if you can spare a few to keep me from crying the whole time while I wait, I would welcome that too. To email me, don't email the above email, email me at tektor@insightbb.com Purrs for both Tony and you are on the way.  SignatureJoy > This is Bridget here in case you don't recognize the email.

I hope that it isn't cancer! I had a dream last night of when Betty had that kind of cancer, and when I got up, I thought, "No, it's over. She's been gone for two years, and she isn't suffering anymore." Have they said anything about doing a biopsy to check? > >There is one hope.

The vet offered to do a biopsy, but I turned it down since I knew I wouldn't ask an elderly gentleman such as hisself to go through chemo. Tony will go quickly if it is cancer - in as little as a few weeks possibly. I thought of you when I found out. Thanks for writing >> Have they said anything about doing a biopsy to check? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Thanks for writing I really hope it isn't, but if it is cancer, if it is oral SCC, then I think that treatment is more for the hoomin than for the kitty. I don't know anyone who's had a cat that's survived it. I wanted to try to keep Betty with me for even just a little bit longer, because I just couldn't let her go. She forgave me for my selfishness because she was generous and brave. Tony is a service cat, so I know that he is a generous and brave boy too. Here is Betty's timeline with cancer. She was actually lucky - she lasted about nine months because the tumor was in a good location. http://home.comcast.net/~takayuki9z/cancer.html > >> Have they said anything about doing a biopsy to check? > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > http://home.comcast.net/~takayuki9z/cancer.html I am taking Tony and putting him to sleep today. With the things they did to his throat during the surgery and his behavior since he has been home, I see him not being able to be himself and yet trying so hard. He isn't eating or drinking. The time has come. I am not willing to do IV fluids on him because it is one more insult. He is 14 years old and has been a wonderful cat. I guess that is the difference between him and Betty. Betty was so much younger and had more fight to give and more life to gain if the treatments had worked. Thanks for taking your time to answer me. Bridget > > >> Have they said anything about doing a biopsy to check? > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Thanks for taking your time to answer me. Purrs for your broken heart. Tony is either going to the Bridge, which we all envision, or going on an adventure we cannot even imagine.

Bridget, I am SO sorry for your loss:( My heart is aching for you and I will light a candle for Tony. You're doing the best for Tony, but the hardest act of love on your part. You will see glimpses of Tony and Betty out of the corner of your eye... they never leave. Bless your sweet heart ((((((((Bridget)))))))))) Love Kyla Purrs for your broken heart.

You have my sympathy and support and love in all that you choose for your family. I suspect that I'd do the same if it were me.

But I'm grieving for and with you, too Bridget. It's so hard to let a beloved animal go, and this emergency really blindsided you with almost no time to prepare for it.
