I hope all is well!!!!!!!!!

Not to but in on your story,But last month Prudence went to see the vet because she was losing weight, they said we should do the entire line up of tests. He thought she REALLY,REALLY was ill.$$$$$$$$$. I waited to get some of the test results and in about 15mins one of the techs come out and says .....I'm sorry but she tested + for lukeimia(sp?). We freaked!!!!!!!!
Then 2 days later the vet himself calls to give us 'the good news' Prudence was fine. It was such a terrible sitution to happen, that did have a happy ending, I'm sure you and your Pollyanna will love and cherish each other no matter the result.
Love and hugs and kisses and hope.

Right here! :)
Thank you SO MUCH for all your support, that really means a lot!


I have no new news today, as I chickened out going to the vet today
I didnt want to hear what he might say, so I phoned and said I´d come in tomorrow...
I´ve even booked an appointment so I´ll have to be there at certain time. Today I didnt have an appointment, the wet had said I was welcome anytime. She had also offered me to make an appointment early in the morning and if she thought Pollýanna would be able to have an op, I would lieve her there and the op would be that same day. But I think that is to scary, to go for checkup, not knowing if I will have to leave her there for an op or not, so I´ll take her in tomorrow, and then she might have the op next monday. I wouldn´t get appointment for the op untill monday anyway, but I want her checked ASAP.

I´ll let you know as soon as I get home tomorrow.
Thank you again for all your vibes and prayers!

Keeping you in my thoughts Sesselja! I hope you'll hear some good news from the vet. Even if it is cancer, there are effective treatments today for many types of cancer.

I did go to the vet today!

The one that has been handling Pollýanna was ill, so I could see another or come in tomorrow, but I thougth I´d see another, since they are all brilliant there, and that would give me a second opinion.

She thought the cycts were rather fluid filled that tumours

Pollýanna is booked for an operation on monday, either to do something for the cycts or spay her, and then they would take the uterus and ovaried, the whole thing, not just the ovaries, as is usually done. But the spaying would be possible, since there are not cycts in the line where the cut would be.

Thank you soooooo very much for all you kind words, they have meant so much for me!!! It´s so good to know people that can understand how really worried one can be about their cat, usually I get: ohh, poor thing....but I see in their face: hmmmm, you know, its just a pet....

We here understand, they're not "just a pet". They're part of our families. I call my cats "my kids". If people don't like that or think it's odd, too bad!


Sending wishes that it is just fluid and easily removed!

You've got that right! We've got three kids - they are black with four legs and tail! That's my answer when people ask if we have kids. (that don't know us of well of course) Get some strange looks!

I also call my girls my kids, and have seen some strange faces when I tell people the names of my girls
Also when I was pregnant and was asked if this was my first child, I would say no, I have 2 girls, 3 and 6 years........they are very hairy



If it is fluid (which I hope it is) it is not removable by an op, it is to big now, but could be emptied, but the vet said they would fill back, untill the hormones would change, but if the would spay her, that could change the hormones some, and then they could operate on the cysts when Pollýanna is ready after the last op...

At least now I have hope to have her in my life longer

Oh, and another thing about my girls....one year I had a picture of Pollýanna on my Christmas cards (that was before Feykirófa was born), and people would even tell me they thought that very strange, but my reply to them was that I had a card from them with a pic of their child, why wouldn´t I send a pic of mine???
That year I got a lot of strange looks
I knew that before I sent it, I guess in a way I was deliberately "shocking" all the "just a pet" people I know
But in reality I was so very proud of my little girl and wanted to send her pic with all my Christmas cards.

Hmmmmm, Icelandic is very much so that you just say words like they are spelled, not like french for instance, where you skip half the word

I´ll try to write something with english spelling that sounds like my name.....

OK....first a long e, like "sai", like in I said something for the first to letters, or like send, aslo without the d.

then sell, like selling

then ya, like ya ya sisterhood


so...Saissellya!


But actually, this is the Icelandic version of Cecelia

Sess I just wanted to say that I've been thinking about you and especially Pollyanna since you started the thread. I'll keep checking for updates after her Monday operation. I hope it goes well. Of course here we all know what you're going through and can sympathize with the "just a pet" reactions of others - I hate that!

Sesselja,
Sorry to hear that Pollyanna is ill, it sounds like the vet has a good plan of action, so you keep the faith. I am praying for Pollyanna's speedy recovery.
