"be on your way" is the first line of one of Dan Fogelberg's songs . . . that phrase totally sent me into a time warp back to college, carolyn! :lol:
the SRT that punkin had - the way it works is by stopping the tumor cells from replicating themselves. the tumor cells that he had in september at the time of the SRT will still continue to live out their lives, they just can't reproduce. the hormone put out by the tumor is what makes a cat diabetic. i assume there are still some cells in there because he still needs insulin. cats undergoing SRT have gone off of insulin as much as 19 months after the radiation treatment. some of his symptoms have disappeared, fortunately, but the reason i suspect he may still be experiencing pain is because he doesn't really want to be held. he doesn't really even want to be touched, but he'll tolerate some. hard to know with a cat when they're feeling pain. i'm just going to stick with the acupuncture, i guess. everything else we've tried has had side effects that weren't worth it.
