Boney Mass (biospy pg2) Photo update page 5

Please know that I have been following this thread from the beginning, but just haven't made a post everytime.

I definitely see a difference in Thumper's right side and I'm glad to hear that the skin is starting to turn a pink color.

You all continue to be in my thoughts and in my prayers.

Please give that brave sweet girl of yours a kiss for me and {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} for you and your hubby as it must be hard to see your baby girl like this.

Dearest Thumper, please continue to do well with your treatments as I would also love for you to prove the vets wrong.

I too keep up with Thumper's progress, but I don't post that often. I appreciate your descriptions of the progress. I get too upset looking a the photos, even though I know she doesn't hurt.

I saw where this went from calcium to cancer with no explanation. I was thinking about the calcium. I had a cat with an untreated overactive thyroid. This caused calcium to build up in places it shouldn't. Significant calcium built up between the vertebrae in his spine and fused a few together. So I was wondering IF this is calcium, is it worth treating to prevent the calcium from reforming, as fast as the reiki is removing it? In my cat's case, the cause was the overactive thyroid, and giving the thyroid pills to control that stopped the calcium build up. There was nothing to be done about the spine bones. He walked a bit stiff, and he couldn't jump as high as before, but otherwise he was OK. I know you are doing the reiki and herbal remedy. I suppose someone has tested Thumper's thyroid by now and you know it is OK? This was just a thought, to toss out for you to consider. No idea if the thyroid pills would interact with the herbal (that is, if there IS a thyroid issue.)

I continue to keep Thumper in my prayers for good health, and you and your family in my prayers for good decision making, and the determination to see this through, and the finances to keep up! And also to keep abreast of all those techinical terms everyone keeps tossing at you. :)

Ok, I need to explain things in greater detail. I did have somewhere that it went from calcium to cancer.

#1... NO this is NOT a thyroid problem all her blood work came back normal. Thyroid was never an issue.

#2.... Her offical diagnosis is as follows from the NEEDLE biospy that was done on her head mass.
"chrondrosarcoma": The mass represents a chondrosacrcoma arising from the skull. Chondrosacromas are characterized by aggressive local inflitration, recurrence and moderate rate of metatstasis to the lungs.

#3..... Bioposy results are as finding... chondrosarcoma (well deifferentiated) with necrosis.

#4..... Definition of necrosis: Necrosis (in Greek Νεκρός = Dead) is the name given to accidental death of cells and living tissue.

#4a.....Definition of chrondrosacoma:is a malignant tumor that produces cartilage matrix

#5......How this all started according to the SIMPLE explaination from the last specialist that we went to and who did the needle bioposy...
Her soft spot on her skull never fused together. Thus, calicium/cartliage build up that turned into a tumor.

#6.... The way Reiki works is once it's gone is GONE FOR LIFE.
For more information about reiki... www.reiki.org

Crafty, I just saw this thread and I will keep checking to see how things progress.
Take care and Give Thumper a big ole hug for me!!

Craftlady, I have been following Thumper's thread and it is so good that the Reiki is working for her. I really hope it improves a whole lot, my fingers are crossed for Thumper and her continued progress.
I think it is inspiring what you are doing for her, helping her in any way you can, that is what a true cat owner should be :)

Thumper is doing great, the tumor is changing shape and going down.
Sorry I havent had time to update. It's been slightly crazy around here.
We had ice/sleet/freezing rain/snow first part of the week. Tomorrow 1-3 inches of snow is forecasted. Hubby's truck been in/out of the shop, I'm without a vehicle today because he had to take mine to work. Yep, they finally had school today :p he's been out since Tuesday.

I updated her blog page tonight.

awww....I know it's been worrisome, but her little pink tummy looks kind of cute! Heck, her whole POSE is cute! Oscar is just regrowing fur there after a year on regular Feliway. he started pulling out some fur around the time his UTI showed up.

I can see the PINK patch at the front of the tumour!

"mushy" is good for a "boney" mass. That sucker is fer sure on its way out.

Thanks for the update!

I've updated her blog page

Is the bald spot you mention new? Did it happen because of the tumour changing shape?

Hopefully as things get "mushier", the bald spot will vanish.

Looking at her in that pose - it looks like a regular cat's head - just extra round! :)

Glad to hear about the hair on her tummy! It does take a while...I am so glad now to rub Oscar's tummy now that all the fur is back.
