Vet says there is no point in removing the lump in her neck as the Lymphoma will be in major organs by now  :'(
He agrees the lumps in her groin and neck have grown  :'(

So its a case of making the most of the time she has left  :'(

Michelle, you are'nt not doing anything for her, sadly with somethings there are just no treatments we can give, but giving her all the love you can will be helping her.

I agree with Desley and you can feel more than one lump and you dont know what others she has inside. I suspect that now she has had chemo, it is just a matter of time and every day you have with Issey is a bonus, as long as she is not suffering and her quality of life is good.

Sending lots of cuddles for Issey and lots of  :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:  for you. Live everyday with Issey as if its the last and the next day will always be a bonus  :hug:

I know in humans when they dont operate on tumours its cos the cancer is quite aggressive therefore it will probably just grow back! You are doing everything possible for Issey Michelle, I think when it comes to cancer we all feel inadequate in one way or another!  :care:

Loads of kisses and hugs from us to you and Issey!  :ahh: :grouphug:

Surely its gotta be better to get these lumps out ??!!


I read somewhere that surgery can actually cause an increase in the rate of growth if you don't manage to get everything out so you have to be reasonably certain that you can remove everything before attempting it.  When Rosie had her breast cancer she initially had the lump removed and it was back within weeks so we didn't put her through further surgery.  Although her lump was eventually very large she seemed to adjust to it being there and carried on with life as usual.

i would definitely ask the vet, but it might be that it wont improve her prognosis, and then is it fair to put her through the pain of an operation?

Yeah i wonder that too, I will pop in and see him though...have a chat because I feel that I am doing nothing and just letting her die atm.
Had a feel on the one in her throat and that is quite large too

possibly the vet thinks it is better to leave them than go through an op? whatever you do, all the very best for you and for Issey  :hug:

Thats what i need to know Kate....and yes i will always do what is best for her.
I need to get my bill paid up incase he isnt suggesting it because i owe money


Sending lots of hugs for Issey and yourself Michelle...must be so draining for you both!  :Luv: :hug:

it is !!
Same days are better than others....but then it hits that i'm going to lose my girl  :'(

The lump by her leg is really quiet large now and last night i also felt the one in her neck.
I cant understand why my vet isnt saying we should remove them so i am going to see him monday and ask....
Surely its gotta be better to get these lumps out ??!!

Woodland cats, didnt you say that your dog has had a few lumps removed as they have appeared ??

I think she is really well at the moment, she seems happy but vet says she is likely to go down hill suddenly when it happens
He seems to think it will be sooner than later......but Issey is going to prove him wrong !!!!!!!

I really hope she does.  My Rosie was given 2 months max. by the vet and had 2 good quality years despite a large and ever increasing breast tumour.  Totally different illness from Issey of course but it shows that predictiing life expectancy is a very inexact science.  Keep thinking positive and enjoy the time you have together, however long or short it may be.

Thank You sooooo much for that Carol.....its stories like that that give me hope xx
