Hi everybody,
Three weeks ago my 10 year old calico named Yoda had surgery to have 3 lumps removed. One small lump above the skin had been there for 7 tears now. There was another small lump around her collar area that was above skin. The third lump was in the rear by where a vet would inject. This developed within 3 weeks. It was under her skin and felt hard. So I freaked and brought her in.
I opted to have a biopsy done on all 3 lumps. Dr Meyer sent the biopsy to Texas A& M in which it took three more weeks to get the results back. The small lump is a mast cell. No grading was done. The rear growth was a fibrosarcoma. A horrible incurable cancer. I was told that some of these tumor form where the vet injected. It most likely will grow back. as it is nearly impossible to cut all out. The vet isn't so concerned with the mast cell. She is gonna be check in a week. God almighty. This news came at such a horrible time. Pebbles had been gone a year yesterday. So emotions were flying. And I so love this cat.
Nat I know that you have dealt with cancer with Gus.. Do you have any advice as to what to feed and what you have supplemented him with? I would love to hear your input.
I did take Yoda off her junk food and put her on Wellness canned no grain. But I am considering possibly home cooking for her and adding supplements. I believe it is best to keep a cat with cancer on a low carb,high fat and protein diet.
Has anyone here dealt with this kind of cancer in their cats?
