[Felvtalk] Lymphoma

[Kelley S]

Hi folks,

Hope you will not mind me asking about a negative kitty, since yall know a
ton about lymphoma and I don't.

Simon is sick.  He had his senior bloodwork and it came back with elevated
white blood cell counts and non regenerative anemia, so my vet did
additional tests  PCR for hemobart and combo test, both came back
negative   He's also lost a lot of weight.  I'm trying to feed him A/D to
see if I can get a little weight back on him.

So the next step apparently is a sonogram to look for cancer.  Vet suspects
due to his age (10) and the blood profile lymphoma or mylenoma..  Regular
DVM doesn't know anything else to do at this point.

What can yall tell me about your experiences with cats and cancer?  I've
only had one with cancer and I had her euthanized due to the vet's advice -
it was cancer of the mouth and he said the tumor was in a bad place and
there was no treatment.

Also, I hope yall don't mind me sharing a fundraiser when I get one made.
I don't have enough money to cover specialists.  He's a sweet boy, I call
him my shadow.  He's lying beside me now..

Kelley
