Update after a lot of stress and some lost months from (me) crashing a lot - her neck is pretty much almost good! The giant gash healed up and there's just the tiniest little bump left (there's another lesion starting on the side of her neck but it's still small and it's in a spot I can use the...

My vet talked it over and consulted with some specialists to be better able to advise the treatment coarse so I went ahead with starting the imiquimod (even just as a temporary patch while I find more advise) She said that it was an oncologist who recommended going ahead and trying it if I felt...

She got a lick of the cream in >< Even though I was watching her I wasn't doing a good enough job. The one on her nose is probably one of the most important spots to get under control but it's being a hard place to keep watch on, and I've been on absolute empty so I'm not as on my game as I...

She's also been absurdly patient with my trying to understand what types of tests they can do will actually offer, versus the likelihood of just getting scabs but no results, but I feel like an idiot having to re-ask questions. Pretty sure she already explained all of this to me but I've been...

Vet got back to me! I didn't get to ask everything since it was very late and I was being very stressed, but she confirmed it's In Situ and she's been talking with an oncologist (oncologist has the neck biopsy and pictures to go on, but is providing as much support as they can as we go) They...

Vet called me back! She said they scanned in the wrong thing, and that it is In Situ (we don't have any biopsy results for her nosepad or foot so I don't know if those could be at different stages but her neck is still In Situ)

A puddle of a Honey and a very content kitten Griffon from pretty much day 2 of him being home. Griffon's been a cuddlebug from the very start XD

Thank you again. It actually took almost 2 and a half weeks and we did for sure get the report back but I couldn't remember what she said over the phone- and they can't forward it until they upload the data to her profile. This has all been in result of the follow up to that biopsy (she had the...

Thank you - and I tried the first dose of the cream. Also called up some possible specialists to try and get in touch with. They're still outrageously expensive but so much less than I expected given what I was walked through. I found out that they didn't actually get around to uploading the...

>< Her results weren't actually uploaded into her profile. I just happened to talk to a totally different vet who saw my kittens recently and she checked everything out for me while I had her on the phone (I've been waiting for the results to be sent?) And she said they didn't even have them...

(Sorry for so many multiple posts I keep remembering stuff and realizing I can't just edit it in) A good possible thing! My regular vet is finally back! It's been about 4 or 5 months and I've been using a different vet in the mean time which is partly why this all dragged so long (we started all...

Thinking more on the conversation (they were supposed to send me the results but haven't so I sent another e-mail if they could please forward those to me so I don't have to just rely on my stressed memory) She might have said SCC in situ - she said something about there definitely being signs...

Also sorry if this isn't the best place for discussions and questions! If she's progressed past Bowen's disease I tried to make a thread about imiquimod in general, and questions towards that. But if any experiences we get through all of this can help anyone here in the future I'll keep posting...

My other frustration is that I've wasted so many hundreds and precious TIME on things that weren't what we needed to be focused on, that all could have helped pay for that specialist, or the treatment. Or helped avoid harder treatments being necessary. But I can't change the past, I can only try...

Thank you - unfortunately it did change to SCC and my vet is trying to round up an oncologist but the price of one as well as the ability to actually find one (and the current treatment options for how many locations it's in as well as expense and what's offered here in the northeast) made her...

I think paying up front will be best and be a lot easier in the long run since I'm seasonal. I do pretty good work in the summer (when I can go to fairs and stuff) but if I need it in the winter I won't have to worry because it'll already be paid! But there are so very many choices. I'll look...

The second I saw Shion's picture she had my heart. The fact that her brother's an absolute cuddlebug and was just what I needed (he's very like and unlike my boy which is perfect) was a wonderful bonus. I've had cats with similar markings and there's just something about them. Your little ones...

I'm trying to look into insurance for the little ones but there are so many options, and so many different things to look at. I was also trying to budget out wellness plans to see which if any might help keep them healthy. I want to be as proactive as possible with them. All of mine are indoors...

She's happy and she's active and she's absolutely worth it - even with how expensive it's been and if she only has a few more years that's so much better than she would have had if she was still out on the street so I at least feel good about that. And she's very attached to me - my dad is...

I'm also not sure if I should try and find another vet at this point or just stay with the one I have since she has been trying her best to help through all of this. But it's been a process that's for sure. Here's the little girl in question - still a little out of sorts from the biopsy but...
