First post in a while, and not with good news :(

I keep meaning to start posting here more often, and have not been all that good at actually doing it. But since there seems to have been a slight resurgence on LJ of late, this would probably be a good time to start making more of an effort

Fuck cancer. I'm so sorry.

When Marinetti got cancer, the mental line I drew was chemo. I watched my step-dad go through it and with a human, at least you know why you're suffering. An animal doesn't. We ended up going with a "wait and see" approach with a bit of palliative treatment to deal with the catastrophic weight loss; last January, I didn't know if he had weeks or months.

I know you're doing everything you can for Kiska and how much you love her and she loves you.

(And I do plan to donate; it looks like GoFundMe doesn't take PayPal, though, which is my usual "immediate click and donate" option.)

Chemo for animals seems to be a very different thing from chemo for humans - on the plus side, it is far less likely to make them sick, but on the minus side, it's mainly geared to make them more comfortable and give them a little more time, rather than to completely cure them (although in some cases it can cause a full remission, but that's rare

I didn't know that. I was picturing something much more horrible.

At any rate, it's a painful decision to have to make, even when there isn't even really a decision.

Are you considering asking for more from Gofundme?

Heart felt agreement to the tag "fuck cancer". Wishing you and Kiska the best possible outcomes in dealing with it.

What a horrible thing to have happen right at what's supposed to be the happiest time of year. Heartfelt sympathies and hugs if they're wanted.
