{{{HUGS}}} and Prayers for Joh, Jonah, and of course Dear Tenny.
Please know that we are all thinking of you and Tenney and the family. What a struggle this is! Keep up dating as you get more specifics. Prayers for all of you.
Hon, I am grasping at straws here...but does the type of cancer affect whether ANY treatment can be tried?
I KNOW what the oncologist said...I keep thinking zapping a tumour that size with radiation ought to reduce it...but maybe it would just make poor Tenny sick!
I just pray that there might be a miracle here. How great that Tenny is still in kitten-spirits!
Prayers for you and Tenny on the way.
I'm so sorry to hear the latest on Tenny. :(
I hope he can really fight this and be with you as long as possible.
Samantha sends purrs and headbumpies to you and Tenny, and I'm sending more hugs for the both of you.
Johanna, I'm so sorry to hear the latest update.:( If he has to have cancer, I hope that it's one that will be the easiest to treat. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent Tenny's way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
All paws crossed for the best possible results.
I's so sorry to hear that. Got a prayer though...I hope it will help you both in way...Oh my especially tenny, my heart goes out for her...

Hoping for the best case scenerio as the new test results come back today. We're all here for you and Tenny!
((((( Johanna )))))
3:10 pm: "OK - We're here ... wish us luck ... I'll call ya back ..."
Momma Joh and Tenny have arrived at the Specialist's Office for additional tests.
So Far - it's semi-good news ... not anything really bad - but it's one of three conditions
that today's tests will narrow down. Doc had called Joh and said more tests were needed
to narrow the problem down ... When could Joh be there?
"I just have to go grab Tenny ... we're almost on the way!"
So some Immediate Prayers would be nice ...
More info to follow ... but I'm not sure if the test Results will be known today.
"THANKS for your Support!"
;)
Thanks Phred for the update. You're always the best! ;) Immediate prayers being sent as fast as I can send them that way......Quote:

They survived the White Coat Visit ...
Tenny has a couple shaved spots and a couple stitches where the "samples" were removed.
Results probably won't be in till Monday ... se we really won't know much till then.
First Aid for now is Prednisone - which should make Tenny more comfortable
and hopefully *perk* him up a bit.

Master Jones (aka da Kid) was "chattering" non-stop; not to mention the *splashing*! http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/tongue.gif
He'd "helped" to Feed da Kitties ... resulting in a Zillion Krunchie Pieces being
scattered on the floor. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/eek.gif
I hope she knows where the Kid's *OFF* Switch is located ...
from what I heard he's NOWHERE near ready for bed yet!

Please crank up your Prayer Machines for Tenny and Joh!
{{{Hugs}}} to Joh!
I know the felling of kids and bed.......those dont go well together in their mind. But i will be sending many prayers for teeny I hope the news is good.
I just wanted to say that I am praying for Tenny. I am so sorry you are going through this. *HUGS* from Katie and kitties
Thanks for the update, Phred!
Jonah, go to bed, honey!!! ;)
Tenny is still in my thoughts.
I've read this entire thread so many times~~~
It's Tenny's Novel now, and You can count on my Pet Talk Prayers , Dear Tenny.
PRAYERS on the way for Tenny...
Thanks for the update Phred...
{{{HUGS}}} for you Johanna!!!!
Thanks, Phred for posting, and lending an ear, twice in one day!
Tenny had two tissue samples removed, and these are being sent to OSU for studying. The oncologist said she is pretty certain they will need to do a normal test, and some sort of stain, so, two samples were taken and sent. We won't know anything until at least Monday. Something about the samples needing 48 hours to do something.
The oncologist did remain hopeful (that is prolly too strong of a word) that Tenny's lungs were clear, and she didn't think it was the more worse type of cancer- carcinoma. (She made it sound like it was grouped into 3 types of cancers: lymphoma, carcinoma and sarcomas. BUT, that might be my misunderstanding). BUT, when I looked at the lab results (which she gave with trepidation, as she was afraid I would over research, and over react), it did mention a sarcoma possibility- which is the worst kind. :( I am not going to phone her back for discussion on this, and just wait it out until Monday, when she phones with the results.
Tenny is taking 10 mg prednisone, and the oncologist thought I could possibly see a positive change in as short as 48-72 hours. I swear last night, an hour after I pilled him, he seemed 'different'. He slept with me most of the night, and returned to me this morning, too. He always slept with me, but, had stopped most recently. Prolly just my imagination.
The **problem** with 10 mg of prednisone is that the pill is huge! I broke it into 1/4s...but, that means I pill him FOUR times, instead of once. I am going to call this other pharmacy, and see if they can get something else. Sometimes, certain makers of drugs make them in different shapes. I went through this with Tex, and his meds, and I always remembered to ask for a certain manufacturer.
So, hopefully the next few days will seem better, and the results on Monday will be what they are. I don't even know what to expect after the results, since depending on the dx, the treatment options are different. I did ask if the possibilities we were looking at were still going to mean a potential 6 week survival rate, and she wasn't as firm as I would have liked. :(
But, that is Monday's worry.
Thanks, everyone.
Johanna and Tenny
Prayers going out for Tenny and you.
Nakita needs 1/4 of the smallest dose of Prednisone. Once you split the smallest pill into a 1/4 it's almost dust. Half the time I don't even know if she swallowed it since the breeze could have take it away when I wasn't looking. :rolleyes: ;)Quote:

I'm sorry you don't have an answer yet. Waiting is absolutely the worst, especially when it involves test results. Hang in there Johanna.
You can have your vet write and actual prescription for the prednisone and have it filled at a people pharmacy. Prednisone comes in a liquid (for kids) and 5mg tables (that are VERY small). These might be other options for you and Tenny...
You and Tenny have remained in our prayers since I first read this thread. Our prayers are continuing. (((hugs))) for everyone.
Fingers, toes, and paws crossed!!
Prayers for Tenny, (((HUGS))) for you.
Waiting until Monday will be agony! But we are all here with you.
{{hugs}} Continuing prayers going out for both you and Tenny.
Don't Furget - today (Monday) is results day for Tenny's Tests ...
Johanna and Tenny will appreciate a buncha Prayers, Good Vibes, and a lot of
Positive Thoughts being sent their way.
Best Wishes and {{{HUGS}}} from ME & the FurKids.
Sending Prayers and positive thoughts out your way Tenny.
