Hi, my beloved not-so-old cat (about to turn 11) was just diagnosed with ocular sarcoma. Does anyone have any experience with this? He's receiving chemo, which seems to cause no side effects except his whiskers falling out.
Xrays and a cat scan didn't show any cancer spread anywhere else. (He had the affected eye removed.)
As you can imagine, I've been EXTREMELY weepy. I don't think I did anything BUT cry the first couple of weeks. Apparently this kind of cancer is rare -- both his regular vet and his oncology vet have each only had one other patient with it.
Has anyone had a cat with it who went on to live a bunch of years? That's what I'm praying for.
Thank you!
