My 14 year old cat has squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth. I am wondering if there is anything at all that I can do? It appeared approx. 2 months ago. It was not big when we noticed it and the vet said to wait a month that is might be from fleas. We waited a month and then we had to wait another week as there was a misunderstanding and we took her back home as the vet was too busy to do the biopsy that day. She had the biopsy three weeks ago and it is quite big now. When doing the biopsy the vet did say it was very deep.
I was told from the vet that there is nothing that could be done. Was she right? I have been reading some posts and I see some have chosen radiation and some other new therapies. Have I let her down waiting? Is there really nothing that I can do? She is still eating although in some pain and she is getting uncomfortable now. Please, anybody with any advice please post. I just want to know that I have done everything right by her as I have to make the decision to let her go soon. I have other cats but this is my best friend. She is very special to me, not that I do not love the others as much, it's just different.
Thank you so much.
