Thanks for your good wishes. If you want to send some Reiki to Clyde, please go right ahead. He's a short haired gray tabby. I'd post a photo but I don't have the capability.
I am sorry about your cat, I have been through canser on a cat but she was very old.
Look into Chemo before you make your decision. I have already told everyone I know that if my animals got cancer there would be no way I would do chemo on them. The animals I have seen go through it was horrible, and not wort the little time that it buys you.
As for cost I know that my friend who had a Rott go through the treatments cost her $1200-$1400 a tratment and he needed more than one.
I've had a long talk with my vet, and after weighing all the pros and cans and unknowns, I've pretty much decided to at least try the chemo. It's not going to be nearly as expensive as I'd feared - only about $70 a month for the next 6 months or so, if all goes well and there are minimal side effects. My vet says that you never know with cats. Some take it really well, some will be just miserable. If it makes Clyde miserable, we will stop immediately. If he was old, I wouldn't consider it even for a moment. But he's so young that he could still have his whole life ahead of him if the chemo works. It's all so iffy.
Anyway, we're no going to start until after I go off call again July 18th. So there's time to think about it some more.
I just want Clyde to be comfortable and happy for as long as he can be. But nobody really knows what the best way to do that will be.
