I'm so sorry for your loss. I had to put my cat to sleep last week due to a pancreatic tumor. It helps to see others are going thru the same grief.

Hi ((Ruth M)) I don't know if you are still on this site. I wanted to thank you for your support. Sadly, Smudge declined this past week and I had to put him to sleep Monday night. He passed peacefully in my arms. I hope to pass on the love he gave me to another cat in the not-too-distant future...

RuthM--thanks for the well wishes! He has follow up bloodwork in two weeks. If that goes well, then a full check-up every 4-6 weeks. So at least 6 weeks, depending on his response to treatment.

Hi there RuthM. Sorry I did not see your last reply. Smudge just had a follow up of bloodwork, xrays, urinalysis and ultrasound. The tumor has not metastisized or gotten any bigger. We are trying Palladia. He had his first dose yesterday and seemed to tolerate it fine. All in all he is doing...

Thank you I am going to look into joining that support group

Thank you for your sharing your stories. My cat Smudge is seeing a team of oncologists and his surgery was performed by a surgical oncologist. Unfortunately, this vet is the second opinion. His primary vet told me that due to the location of the mass, it was likely inoperable. I took him to the...

Hello, I am new to this site and hoping to find others that have or had a similar experience. My cat was diagnosed with an abdominal mass about a month ago. After blood work, x-rays, ultrasounds, and aspirates, the vets were still unable to tell me exactly what type of cancer it is, or what the...

Hello, I signed up with Petplan about two years ago. In the spring my cat needed two teeth extracted. I paid a $200.00 deductible and 10% co-pay. Then about a month ago, my cat was diagnosed with an abdominal mass. Again, I paid a $200.00 deductible, only now it's a %20 co-pay because he is...
