Getting Caught Up

Okay, so I mostly have you all updated to the trials and tribulations of Kitty. There are of course a few more little mishaps like when I had to give her a pill on Monday and it took at least 4 tries with peanut butter to get it down her. At least I think she got it down, I never did find it........who knew cats could spit pills so far! I think she must be part camel! Anyway, we did get the results back from her biopsy. Kitty has Lymphoma Cancer. There is no cure for Lymphoma so the best we will be able to do is make her as comfortable as possible and prolong her life as long as she is not suffering. From what the doctor said, we should be able to keep it from spreading for 10-12 months. After that, it is out of our hands. I will know more after our appointment with Oncology on Monday. Hopefully her strong will and character will keep the cancer from spreading and we will still have many good years. In the mean time, I am going to research alternative options, and consider any and all advice I get. I may not utilize it, but I will listen and pass on anything I learn here. Maybe I can help others going through similar issues and maybe I can get some help too! I am going to remain positive, and continue to help my baby fight for her life! I know I will have bad days, and I know there will be a lot of tears, but I will not give up on her! I took on the responsibility of being her mom so I owe it to her, to give her every opportunity to live the longest, happiest life she can!


As soon as I figure out how to get pix off my camera and on to my computer I will post some pix of Kitty at the hospital and during her recovery. I will be relying on my friend Genn to help me out with that. I will also start posting some of the notes I have come home to from Kitty. (I'll explain how that works later!) :)
