Devastated - second cat in a year has cancer :(

Well I haven't logged on here for a while but I am absolutely devastated.

One of our cats has lots tons of weight and we've been backwards and forwards to the vet - they have tried various injections and his bloodwork didn't show anything other than a slightly raised white count, which they said meant an inflammation or slight infection.

I left him at the vet today so they could give him a sedative and look at his mouth/teeh as he seemed to be struggling to eat his food a bit, so we thought he might have a dodgy tooth or something.

The vet rang at lunchtime to say they had done an xray and they have found a mass which is probably a tumour/lymphoma and that there's nothing they can do.

I just don't even know what to think, or do, I can't believe that we are about to lose another of our babies to an untreatable cancer

We've to go to the surgery tonight and the vet will have a talk with us, so will get a better idea then. But basically on the phone he said there was nothing they could do - Talus has lost so much weight that he is like a walking skeleton.

I know we had prednisolone last year with Blade, it did seem to make some difference...... for a few weeks.

I really don't want him to have spent his last day at a vet surgery though, I want to at least bring him home for the weekend, if we have to make "that" decison.
