This is such a sad story. Im SO sorry. I don't want to give false hope, but thought Id share something that happened to my family's, or one of my childhood cats. We lived in a condominium housing type area where there was a regular, on call, handyman to do anything from cleaning the pool to...

Im SO sorry to hear about Lazlo. My heart goes out to you. I lost my boy Lawny on Feb 1 2015. I still miss him every day. In fact, what brought me back to this site was my curiousity about how Leukeran affects kitties. I saw a post of yours noting a comment about Leukeran, but that your...

This is all I have to remind me of your company as you so patiently waited for me to finish my work.  I know I'll be Ok in time, but losing a pet is really rough.  Especially when you tried SO hard to help.  Thanks for the memories my sweet kitty.  I know you'd be sleeping next to me while I...

I wanted to share with readers my cat's experience with Small Cell Lymphoma.  He let me know it was time last Sunday... not quite a week ago to the hour my amazing vet came to my house, in a blizzard & on Superbowl Sunday, and helped give my beloved kitty a peaceful means to rest.  My cat was...

I still have hope, and my kitty still has decent quality of life. I am worried I'll be losing him soon. It breaks my heart. I will detail start to finish my experience with treating my cat for small cell, nasal/orbital lymphoma. I want to detail the experience, my good and bad decisions...

That is great news!   Thanks for your reply!   How did the Specialist visit go?  I hope it went well!  *fingers crossed*  :)   Thanks againg for taking the time to reply to my post!

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone can offer some feedback as to the frequency and timeframe for which Leukeran/Chlorambucil can be used? Can anyone please tell me their experience with Leukeran dosing (frequency, mg, and for how long)? Ive made a few (usually too wordy) posts on here...

Thanks Stefan. I know I rambled-on in my post. I don't know if it's time, that's my problem. Believe me, I want my Mountain Puma to go out on a high note. He's too young for Lymphoma (as far as averages go) -and he's a super tough kitty. If I were to have a vet do it now, at this very...

How do you know when it's time to say goodbye? Ive been trying to mentally prepare for the day when I have to euthanize my beloved cat, but I'll never be ready. Ive been told "he will let you know". I ask him all the time, I lay with him, cradle him, beg him to give me a sign if he is ready...

Im going through a very similar situation. Im laying in bed with my cat, who can barely breathe, has his eye membrane covering half of his eye... all due to small cell lymphoma of nasal/orbital region. Pain meds will help your cat. If you have the financial resources the type of cancer you...

I sing songs to my cat too. Here's a common one, sung in a higher octive ofc, "who's that kitty in the wiiinnndow *slight pause*, thats Lawny! That's Lawny everybody". *repeat* I'll step up the lunacy of love a notch w/ another (my cat is a solid guy and likes butt pats), so while patting...

Coni, It's Ok to feel sorry for yourself! It's a natural progression, and a feeling I believe your entitled! Gosh, SO sorry about your husband too! You're absolutely correct w/ respect to seeing an animal suffer almost hurting more. Not that I, or we, dont have compassion and empathy for...

Thanks Reba. My vet actually said something really cool the other day... he said "if you wanted to put your cat down I wouldnt do it". He wasnt being a jerk or anything, moreso commenting on "the fight" my guy has w/ respect to dosing his meds. He puts up a huge fight! 3 vet techs just...

Hi LDG.  I've seen a lot of your posts on this forum w/ respect to your kitty w/ Large Cell Lymphoma.   In one of the posts you (I think it was  you), mentioned you had not heard of the steroid Depomedrol being used in combination with Leukeran/Chlorambucil?   My vet and I have gone back and...

Thank you KCK!   My guy can't be medicated by just one person.  I've tried everything.  I tried the way you suggested but he's just too strong (which again, is a good thing).  The yogurt suggestion was a good one however, with respect to his oral steroids!  In addition to being a heavyweight...
