My 13 year old cat has recently been diagnosed with Nasal Carcinoma (nasal cancer). We got an urgent referral to a specialist to which he has had a CT scan which confirmed he has cancer.
I just spoke to the oncology team about possible treatment options for him.
The first option would be definitive intent therapy that would last about 3 or 4 weeks and most likely he would have to board there the entire time. This would allow him the best possible chance at having a better quality of life and live longer. The oncologist said as his is very aggressive it would be on the lower end of the life span scale, so about a year predicted.
The second radiation treatment would be palliative, which means he would only be in there for 5 days and has a possible life span of 6 more months.
With regards to all this I just wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with these treatments for their cats?
I have never heard of any cat going through chemo or radiation honestly. Trying to figure out what the right thing to do for my cat is.
