Seeking support, answers, info...

My friend just received path report on 13 yr. old Dusty Best Boy cat. Diagnosis is oral squamous cell cancer of the lower left mandible, with incidental staph infection. Vet has recommended surgical removal ASAP. Swollen area just seemed to pop up over night. Vet says the surgeries are very successful as tumor appears to be localized and metastatic potential is low, and wants to refer to Veterinary Sugeon specialist.. I researched radiation therpay which is a 4 to 6 week process, and surgery may still be needed. As you can imagine, the cost will be great, but , this is her baby.

My girl tells me she knows of animal surgical cases that were successful. I know it is sucessful in people's... and Vet did not suggest putting him to sleep as he is an otherwise healthy guy, except for this lumpy bumpy mess..

Thoughts, suggestions, comments....
