Hi
we are so scared and looking for some reassurance that this is the best decision for our kitty Minca, she is 12 years old and has mammary cancer, talked with our vet many times, and decided to go with the surgery, removing all her breast and connecting tissue, she also has a lump in her lymph nodes, we made a surgery date for this coming wednsday, every minute I think, is the the right decision, before the surgery they do xrays and if it spread to her lungs, bad news..
I did catch this early, close to 1cm which is good, just the thought of her being so scared, and how she will feel afterwords. the wife and I talk about this everyday, this is not about us, it is minca's well being, we feel that we need to try something, then we feel that maybe its her time. and not to put her through this. very sad..
would hate for the outcome after the surgery to make her worse, or not doing it at all would be worse.. just to tough to handle..
we want to give her a chance to enjoy a few more years.. on the other hand, will she make it, will she get back to normal, will she suffer
dang if we do, dang if we don't. I think.. as of now we are going a head with it.. at least at this moment we love her, she is my baby.
we just want to do the best for her of course.. money is tight, if I have to take out a loan.. so be it.. thanks for any insight for those of you that are going through a similiar situation we are torn.. thanks for listening
