Cat Forum / General Topics / November 2003George
I just spoke to the vet. The "warty thing" that they said would be "nothing" that was removed from George's side last week was a grade one mast cell tumor. I don't know what to expect, but I feel just sick. George is only six. h0p is doing well, but his bile acids test didn't come back as good as we'd hoped. They've put him on that medication you recommended Vet Alex ...the "good bile acid." Sam isn't showing any more signs of tape worm, but I think we'll have to treat him again. Ceili's doing well on her new blood pressure medication, and is just as cute as a bug. The cardiologist says she may be even older than 14. Misty is just beautiful, and more so every time I see her. Dee *I just spoke to the vet. The "warty thing" that they said would be *"nothing" that was removed from George's side last week was a grade one *mast cell tumor. I don't know what to expect, but I feel just sick. *George is only six. Grade I is well-differentiated, non-aggressive. That's good news. Did they get wide margins? If they did, chemotherapy isn't indicated or anything, assuming the regional node isn't involved.

I believe they said that they took one centimeter, and they're going in to take one centimeter more on Thursday. She said it probably wasn't necessary, but she'd feel better if it were done. I've been looking up mast cell tumors on the net since she called, but I'm not really seeing anything that makes me feel lots better. His oncologist didn't say anything about medications, etc. Dee Is George a cat or a dog? Becky > > *I just spoke to the vet.

George is a cat. Dee Dee, I was nervous when my cat had one too. Actually she had 2 removed. I didn't think they graded mast cell tumors in cats - maybe it was the lab. Since my cat had two and a low white cell count, I brought her to a veterinary oncologist/internal medicine specialist. He told me that mast cell tumors in cats are considered benign by veterinary dermatologists (I think that is what he said). He really didn't think it was anything to worry about. So far - so good and it has been 2-3 years. They did take wide margins even though they didn't think it was anything. I was nervous about what I read on the internet too.

Glad to hear your little guy is ok. George came home tonight wigh an incision almost 6 inches long and awful metal stitches. I was really unprepared for how bad it was going to look, but he seems to be doing well, purring up a storm ...and George never was one to miss a meal. I'm awfully worried though, and am waiting until I hear the results of his blood tests. Dee >> I was nervous when my cat had one too. Actually she had 2 removed.

Purrs for little George. Eating is usually a good > thing anyway. Thank you Karen. He's doing well tonight. As far as eating goes, the guy's up to 22 lbs now so he'd be ok if he missed a little bit :) Dee >I just spoke to the vet.

George is back in the hospital again today having the mass excised with wider margins. Dee We got our thoughts and purrs heading George's and the rest of your family's way... >>>I just spoke to the vet.

Thanks XMar, we can really use them, we've had a rough year. The same to you and yours. Dee |
