Update on Chicken - biopsy results are in

[Jenny and Sue]

I know this isn't about Sue (who is just fine, btw ), but I feel like I know you guys best!!!

The doctor left a message for me. I don't know why she didn't call my cell phone.

It is not a fibrosarcoma, but it is a malignant fibrous histiocytoma. I believe it is also a vaccine-associated cancer. I will find out more on Monday when I talk to her. I can't find out much about this on the internet. I believe it is quite rare.

I am saddened by the news, but not surprised. I pretty much knew it was going to be cancer. She said they are pretty sure that they got it all... I guess that's good news.

I'll let you guys know when I know more.

Chicken is doing well. We used all the pain meds. She is eating, purring and I saw her preening tonight for the first time!!!!

Thanks for all of your support.

Thanks so much for the update. I hope chicken recover quickly. I hope things go well for Chicken, that they did get it all. I will keep you in my thoughts.

Thanks for the update. All crossed her that they got it all. Try and think positive. Glad she is doing well.

Purring and Preening - that must give your heart a little boost. I'm still amazed at this - I really never knew how common or serious VAC was. I checked Maverick over well after your post showing Chicken's incision picture. I'm reading the linked files now.

(((((Hugs to Chicken)))))

Hi,
I wish Chicken a full recovery and so glad to hear she's feeling well. Thanks for the informational link and bringing awareness about this vaccine associated cancer. It's always a confusion when taking my cat to the Vet and the shots. Hang in there and positive thoughts and prayers for Chicken and you.
