Well. The vet called. It is cancer.

They say chemo won’t help either. They just want to keep her on pain mitigation until its too much for her and then euthanize her.

I can’t help but wonder if being close to a cell tower is effecting my cats.

I saw a stat somewhere that 1 in 5 cats will get cancer in their lifetime, and the cancer rate has been relatively constant for 50 years or more.

I tend to think it’s just in cat’s genetics. It happens. I’m so sorry N4C. Sending lots of love and hope for snuggles.

Thanks.

I’m just spending as much time with her as I can now. It sucks knowing she’s on borrowed time.

Lost our favorite cat to cancer about 3 months ago. We regretted doing chemo, but this was a 17 year old cat. We actually have another cat that was diagnosed with thyroid cancer a year ago; but she responded to treatment and is till with us. The 17yr old lasted only 3 months after diagnosis. We don’t live by any power wires. I think it’s just a common thing for cats.

Sandy’s breathing fluctuates all throughout the day but as long as she remains calm and isn’t engaging in activity she seems decently stable.

I’m going to try to fight it via holistic means.

I just bought Maitake Mushrooms, artemisinin, xue fu zhu yu tang, Milk Thistle, NK-9, and a few other goodies.

Meanwhile, for entertainment purposes, I have a cat that gives me free back massages whenever I lay down on the floor…

Welp. Most of my meetings have gone virtual again, but the kids...they can be in school and in person...even though they aren't the ones vaccinated. Adults are so weird.

Probably because their age group is not at risk. Both vaccinated and unvaccinated are spreading it so we seem to be incapable of preventing transmission, but only unvaccinated are experiencing severe complications. Children’s age group among unvaccinated are very low risk. Even vaccinated they can still transmit the disease to their siblings or parents. They just won’t receive complications.

No. They're at higher risk because they are unvaccinated and the Delta variant is easier to infect.
