That is good news about the weight and better news that she is having a good time!

Hope Issey continues to be well and prove the vets wrong - i am hoping for the same as Bungly is eating, drinking and playing - and complaining when i groom her as usual !!
Big

Glad she is doing well and hope she continues to

Issey has kept the same weight this week...which is good.

But her lumps are larger, especially the one in her groin and the ones in her neck.

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 !!!!!!!

Mummy's clever little girl has put some weight on

but on the downside has seems to have a problem in her throat or chest.
Vet not sure if its a slight infection or if the glands/tonsills are getting big and obstructing her airways......so she has had an antibiotic injection in the hope its an infection.

What a lovely moment you both shared hunnie, I know everyone is saying its sad and I know you are sad but turn it around and think about it as being a special moment you had together because thats exactly what it just was

clarenmax · « **Reply #460 on:** June 22, 2009, 18:27:21 PM »

I'm sure she loved her song sweetie

Bazsmum · « **Reply #459 on:** June 22, 2009, 18:03:50 PM »

oh hun that is so sad

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #454 on:** June 22, 2009, 12:52:02 PM »

Me and Issey just had a dance round the front room to Madonna's "True Blue".....
It was lovely, she had a paw round each side of my neck and kept kissing me
I sang the song to her but I changed the words to "True Blue Issey I love you"....sang them to her while crying my eyes out

No point to this message really, I'm just so incredibly sad about losing her

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #453 on:** June 19, 2009, 07:58:36 AM »

I am sorry to hear this, but you haven't let her down, you have given her hte chance to beat this with the chemo, stopped it because it was affecting her quality of life, and every decision you have made has been with her interests at heart, not yours, and that is the best thing you can do for her.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #452 on:** June 18, 2009, 23:54:41 PM »

You really have done everything you can without causing a negative impact on Isseys quality of life. I agree with what's been said, enjoy the time you have left with her. I know it's difficult because all you can think about is how you'll feel when she's not there, but try not to focus on that or you'll miss out on the good times you can share before it's her time.

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #451 on:** June 18, 2009, 21:27:41 PM »

Oh Michelle hun you've not let her down in anyway. Issey knows how much you love her and she knows when the time is right you will make the right decision for her.

Value every minute you have with her and rest assured you will find the strength to do the best for your little girl

Take care hun we are all here for you as and when you need us xxxxxxx

Baggy · « **Reply #450 on:** June 18, 2009, 21:26:28 PM »

I hope have lots of lovely time together, and when the time comes, it is really scary, but you will know when it is the right time. She will always be with you in spirit.

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #449 on:** June 18, 2009, 21:10:52 PM »

But the thing is...the lumps went while she was having Chemo but the chemo made her ill !

I have never lost a cat through illness before, lost 3 to RTA
I'm scared about her getting really ill, I'm scared about making that decision when the time comes, but most of all i'm scared of not having her in my life....I just can't imagine life without Issey

Baggy · « **Reply #448 on:** June 18, 2009, 20:42:56 PM »

There is no way you've let her down Michelle, you have done everything you could for her. Am so sorry to hear this news

Bonkers Mad!!! · « **Reply #447 on:** June 18, 2009, 19:53:45 PM »

i'm so sorry you are going through this

. as others have said, cherish the time you have left with each other and give yourself time to say goodbye.

bunglycat · « **Reply #446 on:** June 18, 2009, 19:33:49 PM »

So sorry to hear this news and i see your point about not continuing treatment as the lumps have come back so quickly .
Lots of big

to you both .
I know how you feel as i am in exactly the same position .
I am totally paranoid about Bunglys tummy and keep feeling to see if the fluid is starting to fill up again - she is well at the moment and eating and playing -but no idea how long for -could be months . could be weeks !? Its a real shitty thing to have to cope with

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #445 on:** June 18, 2009, 17:55:32 PM »

Really sorry Michelle

You have in no way let her down, some battles just can't be won no matter how hard you fight

Try and treasure the time you have left together

Bazsmum · « **Reply #444 on:** June 18, 2009, 17:45:29 PM »

Aw Michelle, I hate to see you like this, you have done what any of us would of done, there was a chance and that you gave...

Please be kinder on yourself hun.....sending positive vibes to keep you strong for your babe!

Mark · « **Reply #443 on:** June 18, 2009, 13:37:47 PM »

You haven't let her down Michelle

You have given her every chance and are still doing what is best for your baby

clarenmax · « **Reply #442 on:** June 18, 2009, 13:30:11 PM »

You haven't let her down sweetheart, far from it

If the chemo is not keeping the lumps at bay, and it may have spread, then it sounds as though your Mum is right.

Let her enjoy the time you have left together, and make the most of every single day

Millys Mum · « **Reply #441 on:** June 18, 2009, 12:38:55 PM »

I think you have made the right decision, as hard as it is. You have gone the extra mile for her, i just wish it had worked out for you

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #440 on:** June 18, 2009, 12:08:21 PM »

I'm so sorry to hear this Michelle, I think you are making the right decision if the chemo makes her ill and isnt keeping the cancer at bay anyway. Hope you have some quality time left with her. Take care

Dawn F · « **Reply #439 on:** June 18, 2009, 12:03:59 PM »

definately agree - you can let them go on too long because it is too painful for us to let them go but if you can spare her all of that it is the best gift you can give her

I'm so sorry Michelle but I wouldn't my kitty to suffer either, if it was a short period of suffering to cure her for a long period of time it may be different so I can understand your decision

She only finished the 1st course of Chemo 3wks ago and already the lumps are back. My vet also feels it has reached a major organ and that is why she is losing weight.

I think my Mum just hit the nail on the head with a text she just sent me

"Let her enjoy what is left, she is a special little cat who lived a full life on all that borrowed time you gave her from kittenhood"

But it dont make it any easier.....I feel i have let her down....you know in the way a parent feels they would have let their child down...i am her mummy and i cant help her

awww

I think your mum is right too, you haven't let her down at all you've done all can for her and you still are doing that - by not letting her suffer
