Hi everyone,
I know I haven't been very active on here lately (working full-time and taking care of a very busy toddler will do that to ya!), but it is with a heavy heart that I am letting you know that my beautiful little Eponine has cancer.
Last week, I felt a lump on her side, just in front of her rear right leg. I took her to the vet on Saturday and his immediate reaction was, "This is not good at all, she needs immediate surgery to remove this."
The surgery was yesterday morning and it confirmed what he suspected" Vaccine-Associated Feline Sarcoma. He said the affected area was relatively small, and he removed a LOT of muscle AROUND the affected area just to be sure he got it all. If he DID manage to get it all, she will be fine. But, if he so much as missed one single cancer cell, she'll form more lumps later on and it will be fatal.
I am so heartbroken about this. First my son had a heart transplant due to a "freak" medical condition, now my sweet Eponine has cancer because of VACCINES! Our family just cannot seem to catch a break. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Hope everyone else is doing well!
