I just got a call from Whimsey's oncologist. The results of the biopsies
confirm that he has small cell lymphoma. He will start Leukeran tomorrow. He
seemed concerned that since Whimsey has been taking Prednisolone for years for
IBD and now has lymphoma, that the Prednisolone may be losing its
effectiveness. He is also borderline anemic to the point that if it gets worse,
he would be a candidate for a blood transfusion. Does anyone have any
suggestions for this? His blood sugar will have to be watched as I understand
that incipient diabetes may be an issue here. All of a sudden, I'm feeling
totally overwhelmed. I've heard of a holistic remedy called ES - Clear that is helpful for cancer kitties. Of course it isn't a cure, but it is supposed to ease some of the stress and pain.
Best,
Elizabeth & Whimsey
