Re: 4/23 Moonie AMPS 271-back from vet-not good

You never think it's going to be you writing something like this-
Copper has cancer in his thoracic cavity, the lump had cancer underneath the hematoma...Surprise!
I knew the minute I felt it, that it was bad...
Reg vet assoc thought he had HCM, as xray showed the fluid all around his chest, sent us right to the specialist vets and they did abdominal,thoracic ultrasound & aspirated the fluid using ultrasound--
They got it all out, and they took sample of all 3 masses & 2 lymph nodes..and will get results on Monday-
We will be seeing the oncologist on Tuesday and when the Vet spoke with him, he said without knowing the results of samples, Copper sounds like he will have a 50-50 chance with the chemo--
So we will take the chance of giving him a good quality of life for as long as that may be...
Is my heart broken YES, Do I have a lump in my throat, Yes, crying my eyes out, yes,
Will We fight this--YES!--We will do our best to give him the bes we can.
Thank you for your kind thoughts & prayers --Please keep them up--
Love you all & Giant Hugs from us!!

pleural effusion is not good news. can't dress it up -- went thru it with harry. can remove fluid for a time and at least the first fluid i'd get cultured. if it's to do with the cancer, it is an end-stage process.
take lots of photos and videos if you can and love kitty up as much as possible. cats differ as to how much time goes between fluid removals. hoping you have as much time as possible. PM me if you have questions (best to reach me on facebook).

Roni, my heart breaks for you. I know how much you love Copper. Vines and prayers for you and Copper and Moonie, too. Lots of hugs.
 
Re: 4/23 Moonie AMPS 271-back from vet-not good

Roni this just breaks my heart, and I am so so sorry. I know you will do the best that you can for him, for whatever time he has. Take those photos and those videos, spend the time you have. I too know how much he means to you. Hugs from us all. You are in our thoughts.
 
Re: 4/23 Moonie AMPS 271-back from vet-not good

Loads of hugs for you, Roni and for dear Copper as well. I am so sorry that you are facing this diagnosis. Many thoughts and prayers coming your way for solid answers from the tests taken and an action plan that will allow Copper to have the best QOL possible. My heart is heavy, yet remaining hopeful for you. ((onemorehug))
 
Re: 4/23 Moonie AMPS 271-back from vet-not good

My heart just breaks over & over for you, Roni.. Copper & Moonie too. Take comfort in the fact that you have both blessed each other over & over again. We never know what tomorrow brings, so just fall all in love with him like you already do & just continue that wonderful relationship. We are all gifts to each other & not promised tomorrow.. you now know what is wrong & again.. don't concentrate on the diagnosis.. but the treatment & love you will continue to give.
 
Thanks for all the good wishes.. Moonie gave me a gift tonite of a nice 152, to make me feel better!
We are looking ahead, and hoping for some more time & good QOL..All we can hope for...
Love you all!!--Let's see what tonite brings for the Moonie~!
 
Roni, my heart is breaking for you. I am praying that you find the strength to face this. I'm praying that Copper will respond well, to whatever treatment you decide on.
Love and hugs to you and Copper and Moonie.
 
Oh Roni.....we are so sorry. Your beautiful Copper.....you were so smart when you knew something wasn't right about that lump. We've been there and we've done the chemo thing. Everyone has different experiences with how their kitty reacts, as MJ will tell you. Just ask a ton of questions about side effects and what the chemo will give him. ECID....Butthead seems to have done pretty well with his QOL and his chemo but we had a kitty that did not....we would have had more happy days where he wasn't so sick if we hadn't done it but he was one out of hundreds and hundreds that do really great with chemo. I know you will do the absolute best for your beloved Copper..you always do. And we are all here to support you in whatever decision you make; it will be the best one. Giant hugs and love back atcha.
 
(((((Roni))))) I am so sorry about this news.....But,.......you have much to find out about his condition after the results are in. This week will be a busy one for you.... It is so good that you went in today and got it all started this soon. You knew something was not right and you acted right away on it. Kudos to YOU for that!
Copper & Moonie are lucky to have YOU as their Champion!!

Glad he is resting more comfortably tonight.....I hope you have a nice quiet time together with lots of hugs....
Everyone's advice is so good....take it one step at a time....ponder each new bit of information and ask a million questions....breathe....and continue to show Copper all the love you have for him.
Oh Roni, dear friend....hugging you across the miles...and hugging Copper too...and Moonie of course...
Will keep you all in my prayers... :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
((Roni)), With tears running down my face and a very heavy heart, I pray for you to have as much QOL with Copper as you both so deserve. I'm not too familiar with your journey. I haven't been here long enough to know all of you very well but i'm getting there. From what i have read you must be an amazing bean and I was wondering if there are any photos of your beautiful Copper that we might see. No doubt he and Moonie are some kind of special.
Big Hugs :YMHUG: :YMHUG: from Tommy and Squirrel!!!
 
Roni, Stay strong for your boy. Claudia and MJ know how important it is to take one day at a time. Try to do this, too. We are all here for you. I'm so glad that Copper came home with you tonight. When the family is all together, good things can happen.
Prayers and vines in abundance heading your way tonight.

Rusty sends love, as do Edward and I, :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

((((((Roni)))))))

What a shock. I'm so sorry you and your sweet Copper are going through this. Just know that we are thinking about you and saying prayers for ya. And of course, sending a ton of healing vines.
 
(((Roni, Brad, Copper & Moonie))) You are in our thoughts and prayers. This little guy and his sister were living on the street and you opened your heart and home to them 14+ years ago. You have cared for and loved them with all you have. They are fortunate that you cared enough to take them in. Had they stayed on the outside as ferals, they would probably not have lived long and would never have known the love, security, safety and devotion you have provided. That by no means minimizes what you are going through. Stay strong, you have the support of LL and that is about as good as it gets.
You have and will continue to do what is best for Moonie and Copper. Try and think positive thoughts. After the visit with the oncologist, you will have a better idea of what to do and what you and Copper are facing. There is no doubt you will make the right decision for Copper. Till then, take one day at a time.


Hugs, Barbara, Tuffy, Waif, Tar, Bandit, Tang, Lil Bit, Ton, Pami and Khoko (((HUGS)))

White light, snowflakes, positive vines for all the sugarkitties and civies in our community that are not feeling well.
 
Ronnie, I am so sorry you are going through this with copper. Keep a positive thought as we all will for you all, you never know until you know. Hugs to you and your babies!
 
(((((Roni and Copper))))) I'm so sorry for this news. Live it up the best you can. I love the suggestion to make videos. I remember when Diahann was posting photos and videos of Noisy and how special those were for all of us.
 
I'm crying with you, Roni. I am so so sorry. Hug Copper extra much for me tonight and all the nights to come.
Good Girl, Moonie! Nice prezzie you gave to your mum. She really needed that!
 
(((Roni and Cooper))) - sending you our thoughts and prayers, too. I hope Cooper is feeling a little better with the fluid out of his lung and that the tissue diagnosis is something that is responsive to treatment. Big Sigh.
 
Oh no!!! Roni, I know we just "met" yesterday but it just breaks my heart to hear you go through this. You and Copper will be in my thoughts and prayers.
 
Oh Roni, I just got back on and saw this! Everyone has given such good advice all i can is is support. We all know you will do whatever you cand to help him him have the best QOL possible. Hugs to you and white healing light for Copper.

Roni,

So sorry to hear about Copper. Glad he is home with you. Sending vines, snowflakes for Copper and strength vines for you.

Remember MJ's words:

Agree... when I first found out Butthead's original tumor was malignant, it killed me. What can I do? What *should* I do? The only way I got through it, aside from the incredible support here, was one step at a time, and thinking about what to do NOW. Get as much information as you can and deal with whatever is most pressing and treatable first. What happens later is too unpredictable to burden yourself with now, so try not to lose sight of today by dwelling too much on tomorrow. Take the moments as they come.

Thinking of you, hugs,
jan and sara
