Thinking of you both...

One for you.
And one for Blue too.

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

We're back. There was no mass on the spleen but the spleen is enlarged. There are multiple nodules around the area and they did needle biopsies. We should know more in 24-48 hours. Dr. said he feels it's cancer. It could be one of two kinds. The one type will respond to chemo and the other not. I asked if it's possible they're benign and he said it's possible but unlikely. He will send the report to my email and I'll post it when I receive.

I looked up the vet I found that treats cats only. She does palliative and hospice care as well as pain management. I might take Blue to her for management.

I'm sad

 

[tiffmaxee]

Oh, Patty. I am praying it can be treated.

 

[Critter Mom]

Oh, Patty...

Will keep praying that it's benign/treatable. And I'll keep praying for you too.

This is the document from Dr. Whitehead for Blue. It pretty much says what I wrote above but in more technical terms.

 

[tiffmaxee]

I can’t open it. I was able to open on my phone.

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

So you can view?

 

[tiffmaxee]

Yes. I read it. We need to wait for the results of the biopsies. Did he need to be sedated?

 

[Critter Mom]

We need to wait for the results of the biopsies.

Agree.

The worse of the two would come from cancer elsewhere. All his organs are good. That means there’s still a chance benign.

 

[Critter Mom]

I'm sorry I can't contribute much at the moment, Patty. I've no experience with the findings they mention. As Elise says - and hard as it must be to deal with - right now waiting for further information is the thing to do.

No sedation. Blue is a great cat. That's why I keep saying out of all mine I am blessed it was Blue. He comes running when I call him for testing. None of my others would cooperate.

I agree, wait on the results. I'm praying for the best outcome possible.
Thanks for the prayers.

 

[tiffmaxee]

FDMB prayers have been known to do wonders.

 

[Critter Mom]

FDMB prayers have been known to do wonders.

I can attest to that.

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

I when ahead and tested him a little early because I was curious since he didn't have insulin today.
He's at 190 PMPS which is amazing.

 

[Critter Mom]

How are you bearing up, Patty? I'm worried about you.


Mogs

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

I'm doing okay. I have my bad moments but am taking the advice you and Elise offered to wait for the results. I'm exhausted because I had to get up early and didn't get to bed until 2 a.m. I'd like to sleep tonight but worry Blue will go down fast and I'll be up all night again.

 

[Red & Rover (GA)]

I think you could skip again if you need sleep. Let's see what Elise and Mogs have to say before you shoot or don't shoot. You are no good to Blue if you are exhausted.

And spend some time loving him up.

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

I would love that. Crying makes my eyes burn and on top of exhaustion it's not a good combination.

 

[Critter Mom]

Reading my mind there on the insulin front, Red.

Patty, I think you need rest. I think it's the very best thing you can do for your beautiful Bluebird tonight.

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

It won't mess him up too bad will it to not have insulin for 24 hours? That concerns me since he's been doing so well.

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

Oh I think I forgot to tell you all that he had another big poop today. I'm a proud mom.

 

[Critter Mom]

His numbers have held really well today, Patty. I wouldn't suggest the skip if I thought it was a bad idea.

[Critter Mom]

Bravo, Blue!

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

Alright, thank you both so much. I think some rest will help a lot.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Definitely skip. It’s unanimous. Relax with your boy.

 

[Patty and Blue GA & Brat]

Thank you all. See you tomorrow.

 

[tiffmaxee]

Sleep well.

 

[Critter Mom]

Wishing you a good, restorative sleep, Patty. Please can you give Blue a gentle fuss or two from me.

Till tomorrow.

Just catching up on your thread, Patty. I lurk even if I don't always post. Sending many, many prayers for the best possible outcome from the biopsies. We could all use some good news.

Thank you. I appreciate you checking in and praying for Blue. It's been a tough few days.
