Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / May 2004Update on Willi's Biopsy
I had put a note on the board Saturday about my beloved tuxedo black/white 10-year old indoor cat Willi had been found with a almost golf ball size tumor bulging from his neck. Today he went in for the biopsy. The vet determined he could not remove the entire boney mass as it wrapped around his juggular vein some and other life important areas. He took a portion out and said it will go the lab for the pathology report and I will know within 3-5 days the result. Willi is home resting now by my side as I type this. What I am not sure is - if it is just a cyst - would there have to be an invasive surgery to try and remove the portion by his jugular? I asked the vet this and said he could not respond to that question until he got the pathology report. Keep my buddy Willi in your thoughts and prayers. It's too soon for me to lose him. He has given me 10 years of joy. Magnus > Keep my buddy Willi in your thoughts and prayers. You bet. Poor baby. Sending you both all the best good energy ... > It's too soon for me to lose > him.

I will provide an update on the board next week. Magnus Good thoughts and prayers to Willi and you, Magnus. Even if it is something bad, there are often treatments that will extend their quality of life. Cats often respond well to chemo and generally don't get sick. Of course, it depends on the personality of your cat if it would bother him to go to the vet fairly often--at least in the beginning--to get chemo. A cat who is very fearful might not be a good candidate for that. But, of course, I hope it's minor...I just wanted you to know that it's not hopeless if the news is not good.

All I can do is root for Willi and you and hope everything works out. You guys are in my thoughts.
