Fingers crossed everything is fine on her next scan - I am not a fan of chemo in cats, although my vet says it isn't as hard on cats as it is humans, but I dont know how you can truly know. I would let your vet guide you on this one, and maybe do some research, I know people who have used it seemingly with no side effects

She was a very good girl......although i have  a patchwork cat now  :evillaugh:
:Luv:
Good that there is some good news!

Difficult choice with the chemo, think I'd be inclined to hold off as well.  Am not sure if it makes cats feel as poorly as some humans do, but it's hard as we at least understand it's making us feel bad in the hope we'll get better  :hug:

Good news is her kidneys look fine,
Not so good news is the nodes near her kidneys are slightly larger than they should be.....so my vet measured them and she will have another scan in a months time.

Had a chat about Chemo, its all pretty dangerous one way or another ....so holding off for now

that's excellent that you can be present, as it will give you the chance to ask lots of questions - I do hope all goes well, and the results are promising for you and Issey

Hi Nik,
Had this from my vet this night


"Its probably always the way when you ask for two expert opinions, but the other oncologists suggests 3 monthly check ups and only start chemo if we find the cancer again.
I think we should do the scan and then decide.
I am more inclined to follow the more conservative approach rather than the chemo now one."


So she is going in for a scan tomorrow.
I will do whatever my vet thinks best but it is worrying to have 2 opinions

Thank You all the support....I am chuffed that so many people care and are with me on this journey  :hug:
I am still quiet shocked that all this is happening to be honest
Anyway,

Just had an email from my vet


"The first of my oncologists wants to start chemo now. He does advise a belly shave and scan now to make sure its not in the kidneys as these dont respond well to treatment.
He did say it can just be one lymph node and removal can be a cure but he thinks this is even more rare.
Ill wait for the other guy to respond before we start chemo but we should do the scan soon"

So going to have the scan done early next week.....

Love to all from Me and Issey Macky Moo Moo xxx
