kimbo and tommi, these stories are so hard. i lived with a cat who was called 'cleo' and five years of age when i adopted her from the animal control shelter. she had a tiny pea sized lump on her jaw one day. the vet gave her two weeks to like two months after the examination/x-rays and i was stunned! it was inoperable and invasive cancer. awful....

Sometimes it's gloomy here. It is hard to see this beautiful long haired black, alpha male getting skinny and loosing this fucking Cancer battle. He suns himself on the patio, and plays with the 6 month old kitten in the afternoon. I went to visit my boy yesterday and he wanted his ears rubbed, and to be brushed, just like I used to do for him........ Deb flew home tonight to spend the weekend with Dusty, and she leaves Sunday evening. She's deployed out of town till April 30. I don't think he is going to be able to survive that long.
Dusty saw his vet on Thursday for follow-up, had the last stitches out, and another long acting antibiotic.The first antibiotic he had 2 weeks ago really helped him , and he is eating and drinking really well again.
His jaw is more swollen. He sees a surgeon/onchologist who specializes in this type of cancer to see if there is anything that can be done.
One day at a time
