wings_cat My precious Tata will be going to the bridge sometime soon.

She had a dental done in June, everything was normal. A lump came up in September, on her right upper jaw. Squamish Cell Carcinoma. They have given her less than 6 months.

My baby with the record of 2 weeks on lantus has had 17 wonderfull years.

As far as when, that will be up to her. Hopefully it will be peacefully at home, but from what I've been told, and have read I highly doubt that. This is one nasty, agressive cancer. It not only destroys the bone, but it also remoldes it. Neither chemo or surg help in her case, I wouldn't do that to her anyway.

I just wanted to thank everyone here for everything you did to help me get her to the falls last year.

where is a bawling smiley when you need one.

I'm so very sorry. All you can do is enjoy every single day, every purr, every snuggle. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Tasha.
 
Thank you very much. I'm not here very often since she went OTJ, but since the people here were instrumental in helping me get her there, I thought you might like to know.

We are enjoying every purr, and snuggle. She gets first choice of seats, we sit elsewhere if she's there first, etc.

My sisters 16 yo cat has been diagnosed with diabetes, and since she uses the same vet I bet she's on lantus. I will try to get her to come here, but she doesn't listen to me very much, even though i've been there.

I'll stop rambling now. Just wanted to say thanks for everything. You guy's gave me another year + with my precious baby.

I'm so, so sorry. Give your girl anything and everything she wants. Look into her eyes and let her know how much you love her, that you will be strong and will not allow her to be in pain, and you will help her to cross the Bridge when she tells you it's her time. We will always be here to support you and to celebrate Tasha's life.
 
Karisa, I'm so so sorry! I hope Tasha fools everyone & has more good days than predicted and can go peacefully in her home when the time comes. You'll know when it's time and can call a vet to the house. In the meantime, what you are doing, loving her every minute, and making the last of her days as happy as possible, is what is best for you and her.

Hugs,

Melanie & Racci
 
We are so very sorry to read of your sad news. Tasha knows how much you love her and what a wonderful life you continue to give her. Enjoy each and every moment and she will let you know when she is ready to go. We're here anytime you need us.
 
I am so sorry to read this very sad news. Cherish every moment that you have, She knows that you love her. She will let you now when it is time. Hugs to all there. I am so very sorry.
 
Krisa, I'm so sorry to hear about Tasha's diagnosis. You were both very fortunate to have found each other 17 years ago. Each of you made the others life a bit brighter and happier. It will be hard for you when the time comes but remember you are continuing to do the best for her and you will always have her with you in your heart.
You and Tasha are in our payers.
 
Thinking of you both....this is very sad indeed....I am sending lots of love and hugs to you
in this sad time. I know that she feels the deep love you have for her.... :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
((((((((((Karisa & Tasha)))))))))) I hope your remaining time is peaceful and comforting. Tasha knows she is loved and you will do the best for her.
 
I'm so very sorry to read this sad news. As others have said, love her, kiss her, smell her......enjoy her. Time is precious. Then when it is time, there will be no regrets, just sad tears and memories. Again, I'm very sorry.
 
Thanks again to everyone for the love.

We were expecting this when she was diagnosed with crf, and it helped to get in to that mindset. Then whamo oral cancer. I could handle the crf, no pain for her, or very little unlike this monster which causes alot of pain.

We were doing sub q's every three days or so, along with her thyroid meds and azodyl (crf med), now we added Buprenorphine .1 ml q 12 hrs topicaly to the inside of her ears and clindimiacin 1ml q 12 hrs, for the rest of her life.

The antibiotic isn't a stopgap or falsse hope, I requested it because her teeth are coming out, and I don't want her to suffer with an infection along with the cancer, adding to her misery.

I want to remember her beautiful face as it was, not what it has become. She's not a hamster, and shouldn't look like one with a full pouch on one side.

I am so very sorry to hear this. I wasn't here when Tasha was on insulin. I am very happy that you found FDMB and were able to make Tasha's last months diabetes free. You are a wonderful MamaBean to be so attentive to her comfort at this time, and I will have you in my thoughts as you weather this difficult time. My cat is being tested for cancer right now (a tennis ball sized mass in his abdomen), and I am trying to get ready to face what you are experiencing right now.
