thanks Laurie for your very informative reply -  you basically echo all my concerns exactly! I asked the vet what she'd do if it were her cat and she said that really she'd want a specific diagnosis - and I tend to agree. The vet said that Katie's age should not be a preclusion to surgery - she...

Update on Katie - good news but some uncertainty ! advice appreciated! There is no sign of cancer in liver or spleen which is great - however the cytology results on cells from intestine are "inconclusive" in that the mass/abnormality gave insufficient cells to reach a diagnosis. However the...
