    Willa started the chemodrug Chlorambucil on June 23. She was doing well, eating, and her poop started firming up. Then, a couple of days ago, her appetite started decreasing again, despite the appetite stimulant. She keeps asking for food, but then she will take only a few bites.
    I'm afraid that it won't be long now when I have to make the decision we all dread so much. I just wish this wouldn't make me feel so guilty, even though it is a kindest thing we can do to end pain and suffering.
    Other than the appetite, Willa still acts like herself, she's alert, giving headbumpies, even following a kitty game on our tablet.
    I will take her to work tomorrow to weigh her and to get some advice from her veterinarian.
    Please send some healing thoughts.

    Shortly, after my post, I had a thought: What if Willa's symptoms are side effects of Chlorambucil?
    I did some research, and I found that many people had seen the same symptoms in their cats.
    I texted the vet to ask if I could dose Willa every three or four days instead of every other. She said sure.
    I will try that. I guess it comes down to either Willa being miserable from abdominal issues or the drug.
    Neither one is a great choice. I will watch her closely to make sure she's not suffering.
    Thank you for all your well wishes.
