Our 10 year old cat Churchill was diagnosed with lymphoma in August of 2013. He has a mass behind his left eye, which is now closed off. He was prescribed predisolone for swelling. It has helped. Last weekend, Sunday we got up and went downstairs and Churchill could barely lift his head up. We made a decision to put him down. We called the vet and made an appt. at 1pm. We called our friend who does animal cremation and told her we were coming later that day. I gave Churchill a dose of his "VITALITY SCIENCE" alternative medicine. We showered and got dressed and when we went to crate him up for his final ride, he was up and about and drinking at the water bowl. I told my wife, we need to give him a chance. So we went to the vet and discussed what to do. They found that he had a fever of 103. They put him on ORBAX antibiotics and that made a world of difference. We told the vet Churchill has an appt. with the Oncologist on the 18th of November. He said to follow up with that appt. Well, today I took Churchill to UC DAVIS vet training Hospital in Davis Ca. (They are rated as one of the best in the world for vet care and vet training). We met with the Oncology Dr and discussed his treatment options. It appears Churchill is in a good position health wise to do this. They did an exam on him and didn't find anymore growths in his body. Churchill starts treatment this week. The drugs they are going to use are Vinblastine, Cytoxan, and Doxorubian. I'm looking for any feedback on what to expect, other experiences. We are very optimistic on the outcome of his treatment.
