Hard decision

My cat's being treated for an aggressive cancer. He did well the first couple of chemo treatments, but earlier this week he developed a fever and had to be admitted to the vet hospital. They said it's a reaction to the chemo and his white blood count has dropped very low. The good news is the vet thinks he will pull through this episode.

But now I have to decide whether to stop the chemo (they won't do it till he's well again) entirely since a future episode like this could kill him. Also, I hate to see him lose time he has left in the hospital - i know how much he wants to be home. But stopping chemo almost certainly means the cancer will come back, and probably fast, and I'll lose him soon.

I just honestly don't know what to do.

what an heartbreaking time for you. I honestly cant offer any advise as I have no idea but what does your vet suggest?

Maybe talk to your vet and see if there is something you can do at home to help him if he has another episode so he doesn't have to go to the hospital.

The only other advise is to look into your heart to find the answer. Spend time with him and he will let you know. I will say some prayers that you find your way in this terrible decision.

Thank you. It's very hard. He's still in the hospital and I just want to bring him home.
