Good morning,

Yesterday's condo

Yesterday
AMPS=169 (0.5u); +2.5=191; +7=189; +9.5=198
PMPS=202 (0.5u); +2=230; +4.5=256; +11=259

Today
AMPS=239 (skip - U/S)
PMPS=272 (0.5u); +2.5=301

Today is the ultrasound day.
It's 7:30am now, and the u/s will be done around noon.
I will leave in about 3 hours, so they can shave her tummy before the radiologist comes in.
Lucy can't eat until we come home, and of course she wanted to eat this morning.
Lucy, why can't today be one of those days I open 5 different cans and you want none of them?
She has already given up asking, and is now sleeping.
I gave her a shot of Cerenia, so she won't get car-sick, hopefully.

I thought about shooting BCS, maybe 0.25u and even filled a syringe, but ended up skipping.
I hope she won't go pink later today.

Last night, she had a big diarrhea and sat on it, so I had to give her a bumbath, after almost 3 days of no bumbath.
She was upset, but maybe she wanted to get her bum cleaned for the u/s, so we won't get embarrassed.

I am calm and will stay calm. I am calm and will stay calm. I am calm and will stay calm.

I hope things go well today. Maybe bring a little food with you to give after the US?
 
Re: 7/24 Lucy AMBG=239 // Ultrasound Day

Sending you more calming vines. I hope it goes smoothly for Lucy today. You are such a great mamabean!
 
Re: 7/24 Lucy AMBG=239 // Ultrasound Day

Breathe. Keeping breathing slowly.
You and Lucy are in my thoughts. Keep thinking positive.
 
Re: 7/24 Lucy AMBG=239 // Ultrasound >> Cancer

We are back.
Lucy has cancer in her pancreas and liver, and maybe spread into her heart too.
I expected bad news, but this is worse than I expected.
I guess there is no point trying to see a specialist now.
The radiologist was amazed how loudly she can still complain.
That's my girl.

I was doing so good staying calm at first, but everyone at the clinic was kind and hugged me, so I couldn't hold my tears.

I have kept the Sunday appointment with my regular vet since she's off today, but I won't take Lucy with me.
I will discuss with her how I can keep her as comfortable as possible until it's time.

She ate some Wellness Turkey&Salmon when we got home.

{{Mariko and Lucy}} big hugs for you both. I am so sad to hear this.. does it mean that all ear pokies are done forever now, and that Lucy gets to eat whatever she wants? How are you going to do this?

I'm so sorry. Whatever makes Lucy happy is good. Indulge her and take care of yourself.

Big hugs. Take this one day at a time. Lucy doesn't know what you know. Give her whatever she wants and may you both enjoy whatever time you have left together. We are all here fior you.i pray you have many good days like yesterday.
 
Re: 7/24 Lucy AMBG=239 // Ultrasound >> Cancer

Mariko,

Hello, I have been following your and Lucy`s condo`s. I am so sorry to see this news about Lucy. I was so hoping it would be better news. I had a cat named Ally several years ago with a lung tumor. She was diagnosed in January, I chose not to do any chemo or radiation as they said it most likely would not do any good.
I made her comfortable and just let her play and be herself and I had her until June. I ask the vet how will I know when its time to let her go? The vet said when she stops eating and drinking.
So I hope you still have many good days left with Lucy and I will be sending prayers along for both of you.

Terri

Re: 7/24 Lucy AMBG=239 // Ultrasound >> Cancer

Oh, Mariko. My heart breaks at this news. The love you share is so strong, so vibrant, so constant. It is that love that will see you both through this most difficult time. But it's so hard. Lots of Light coming for good days.

(((Mariko))) I was hoping for better news. I'm so sorry!!! Spoil Lucy as much as you can. Remember, she doesn't know what cancer is.
 
Re: 7/24 Lucy AMBG=239 // Ultrasound >> Cancer

Hi Mariko and Lucy,
I'm so sorry. I wish they could all live forever. I can tell how much you love each other, and that can transcend anything.

The love between you and Lucy is so palpable. May you and Lucy be surrounded by peace at this time. I know the love you have for her and the love she has for you will allow you good days together to make memories and to share happiness.
 
Re: 7/24 Lucy AMBG=239 // Ultrasound >> Cancer

{{{Mariko}}}

My heart is breaking for you. I know how much you love Lucy, and what a wonderful mamabean you have been. Try not to think about what's to come, but live in the moment and enjoy every bit of time you have with Lucy. As others have said, she doesn't know she is sick. Just make her happy, and you will be happier. We are all here for you when you need to vent. Many hugs and prayers to you and vines to Lucy for some good quality days with you. :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
Re: 7/24 Lucy PMPS=272 // Ultrasound >> Cancer

Thank you all so very much for your love and compassion.
I live alone and by myself dealing with this (except of course Lucy and Ginger), so your posts mean so much to me.
They help me stay strong.

Lucy ate almost 1/2 of dinner portion this evening.
Tonight, her preferred flavor is Wellness Chicken.
She's eating only a little bit at a time, but she's doing her best, I know.

I have only 3 more capsules of Tylan (a/b) left, and I was going to finish them, but I didn't have the heart to pill her today.
I think she's got enough torture for one day already at the vet - belly shave and ultrasound.
She was purry for a while this afternoon, but seems tired this evening.
She seems tired but relaxed, so I decided not to upset her by pilling.
It probably doesn't matter now if I finish the Tylan since her diarrhea isn't caused by bacteria....... I don't know.
I may just not bother with the remaining three capsules.
 
(((((Mariko)))))

I am so sorry for this news. You and Lucy have such a special bond. If I was an older cat, I would definitely feel safe and comforted with you. Your caring and compassion for Lucy is wonderful.
 
Mariko, I'm devastated by this news and am crying at my computer :sad: . You were so strong for me with Chyna and so kind, please if you need to talk I am here for you. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, and hoping for a ton of quality loving time with sweet Lucy with much love and spoiling. Many vines and hugs to you and the kitties :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
(((Mariko)))

As others have said, Lucy doesn't know how sick she is, she knows only that her beloved mommy is there, and every day is she is happy to have a love that knows no boundaries. cat_pet_icon
 
{{{{{MARIKO}}}}} No words can express how I feel what you're feeling as I've been there, and I'm sure that many others on here have been there, too. All you can do is continue to make things comfortable for Lucy, and she will tell you it's time. Spend as much time with her as you can each and every day. Enjoy her as much as you can. Always remember the great times, and she'll always live forever in your heart and your memories. :YMHUG:
 
(((Mariko and Lucy))))

We are so, so very sorry to hear this and so devastated for YOU. You have never ceased to amaze me with your absolute incredible care of Lucy and Ginger. We had prayed that the news would not be this sad and there would be some way to go forward and get Lucy healthy.

We all are here for you and support you. :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
Oh Mariko, I'm SO SO sorry to hear this too. BIG HUGE LOOOOOONG HUG and lots of extra thoughts and prayers for all of you.

Headbutts and scritches for sweet Lucy and Ginger too,
 
Mariko, I'm new to posting to this board, but I've been following your convos for a while. I'm so sorry to hear about Lucy's condition. I hope you can find enough peace of mind and heart to enjoy the time you have left together. Both of you are in my thoughts and prayers. -Hellen
 
Mariko,

Sending positive thoughts to you and Lucy every day. Live for the moment, and enjoy each day you have with Lucy.

:cry: :sad: :cry:
 
Oh Mariko, I'm so very sorry. I hope you and Lucy are able to spend a lot of quality time together.
