...also had a chest x-ray, which showed some signs of metastasis in her lungs and potentially lymph nodes, so the signs are pointing to mammary cancer. We have an upcoming appointment with our usual internist, as well as a new oncologist. We plan on asking for a new x-ray, as well as an...

...down from the head). I obviously need to get this checked out ASAP. I've had cats with plenty of other diseases, but never possible mammary cancer. I only ever had one cat with a tumor which was different than this - less invasive. So I'm kinda freaking out here. Can anyone tell me how...

...not remembering correctly, but I had thought that one of your cats was on chlorambucil a while back, so you have experience with that. Mammary cancer is not something that I have had to face with a cat. My GSD had immunotherapy for melanoma with positively no side effects, but we are talking...

Thanks for the reply Sadly yes, the vet is talking about a full mastectomy down one side and possibly the other also BEFORE doing a biopsy of the mass which concerns me, also reading many search results I am seeing a lot of studies saying there is a very low survival rate looking a year post...

...am sorry for your loss of Belle. Breast Cancer In Cats | PetCure Oncology This article covers anything that I would have added about mammary cancer in cats and whether or not it has spread. When my GSD had his amputation for melanoma, the oncologist did do x-rays to determine if it had...

Yes, Tikka is still on the chlorambucil on a pulsed dosage (every two weeks). Good memory! That did worry our local vet a bit, if the tumor is aggressive enough to grow despite the chlorambucil. Tikka is 17 now, but she is still plenty active. We are at the vet now, and both the oncologist and...

...being pregnant is incredibly hard on a cats body. It depletes them in every way. And each time they go into heat it raises the risk of mammary cancer and incredibly deadly uterine infections. As each pregnancy arrives there is a bigger chance of kitten mortality as well as her own. It's...

Thank you. You're right! I think I have some sort of weird trauma related to cat cancer. My Moon passed two years ago from mammary cancer. Last year, my Sangria got diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). We got her a VERY expensive specialist surgery, and she...

I don't know about the survival rate, and haven't looked at any of the studies. A friend's cat had a mastectomy 3 or 4 years ago, I don't remember exactly when, but the kitty is still healthy and active at 15 years of age. My 12 year old girl had a mastectomy, removing the entire mammary chain...

My cat 13 years old has 3 lumps, one on her left nipple with discharge the other one on armpit and the last on her shoulder which is not increasing in size.I noticed the lump in her niplle last Oct 2022 and the lump on her armpit late 2021 and shoulder lump mid 2021. The vet measured the armpit...

This is very sad. Thank you for taking her in. You are very kind! What kind of cancer did the vet say she has? Is it mammary cancer? Does the vet think she will give birth soon?

Hi. Sorry no one has responded to your post yet. Maybe while you wait to hear directly from those with experience, you can read these articles, just to give you an idea of what are all the possibilities - and it may help you to make a list of questions for your vet. As you will see, there are a...

Hi. So glad to hear from you. I worked at a specialty hospital, where we did many chemotherapy cases. This was from 2005 until 2013. I worked both IM and Sx department. With lumps in that area, the gold standard, back then anyway, was full mammary chain removal and of course biopsy. Then...

What happens in the wild without human intervention though? What is the maximum litters per year that you would personally recommend that would insure the Queen and offsprings best health?

Hey everyone, I have some sad news to share. Our beloved cat Tikka passed away Thursday morning after her battle with mammary cancer, which had spread to her lungs. I couldn’t even write this the day of, have just been slowly rolling out these notices, between thinking about her and missing her...

Yes it is and she is giving birth now 😯

Hi. I am so sorry your cat has been diagnosed with mammary cancer. I don't think there is any typical guideline on what to expect. I have read threads where the cat went into remission with chemo - some with no recurrence, others with. It is good news that they don't think it has spread! Keep...

...removing the ovaries reduces the levels of hormones that encourage the growth of cancerous tumors, spaying reduces your cat's risk of mammary cancer as well. Site information: https://www.hillspet.com/cat-care/healthcare/benefits-of-neutering-a-cat?lightboxfired=true# I don't know why the...

...before doing any surgery. There's no reason not to spay them now. Not spaying will increase their risks of pyometra, ovarian cancer, mammary cancer and other diseases. I can't understand how anyone could lose one cat to pyometra and fail to spay and neuter all the other cats in their care...

I lost a cat to mammary cancer a few months ago. She had been a pregnant stray I took in who had 4 kittens. I kept them all. Mama was so sweet. Her babies are 8 years old now and her only daughter still misses her terribly. Once the cancer has progressed there is no cure. Hopefully mom can love...
