My vet advised against chemo with Ollie, he said its very agressive. Maybe it would be different for Issey with having a different kind of cancer?

Sorry to hear you have found another lump  :hug: :hug:
My vets have had quite good results with chemo, lymphoma is certainly the best for responding to it from what iv read/been told.
If Issey is still bright and strong then she is in a good position, how old is she?
PM if you want to talk anytime  :hug:

She will be 6yrs old on 1st October so she is pretty young.
She seems fine at the moment MM

The things i have read say that Chemo gives a few extra weeks (17-20)
so i just dunno what to do ??

Will chat with my vet on Tuesday....and thanks MM for the offer to PM you xxxx

This is such a hard time and know how you must be feeling  :hug: :hug:

I think you should write down loads of questions for your vet and also ask him what he wiould do if it was his cat....they can be quite evasive sometimes.

You need to think what is best for Issey as you have said and then if there is a choice go for the best percentage option. Dont feel guilty about what you choose cos what ever decision you make will be the best one that you can make for Issey  :hug: :hug:

Oh Michelle, i feel for you :hug: :hug: I know how difficult is to make the right decision, Its heart breaking because you feel so helpless  :(
Ask your vet what he thinks her chances are with chemo?
But please try and be positive and strong for Issey, we are all here for you. :hug:

Thank You xxx

I know this is the Lymphoma, Will have a good chat with my Vet about the Chemo though.
I am so torn about it...
On one hand I want to try and save her but on the other hand i dont want to put her through something horrible just to give her a few extra weeks....I just dont know what to do

and then if i dont give her Chemo and she dies i will forever blame myself for not trying
but if I go for Chemo and she dies from a chest infection or something else i will blame myself for that

This is so bloody difficult, my tummy is in knotts

And what is making it harder is that Issey is well in herself (if that makes sense)

Sorry for going on but there is so much going round in my head at the moment
I just dont know what to do

Found another lump tonight -

Its high up in the groin, feels the same as the one that was removed although this one is huge.

Spoken to my vet and i'm taking her in an Tuesday for a F.N.A and then probably start Chemo Wednesday.

This is it isn't it ? The start of the end, don't think I can face this ...I really don't think i can cope with this :'(
