Boney Mass (biospy pg2) Photo update page 5

[Craftlady]

I will try to answer everyones questions.

Fragrancehound: The new herbal remedy seems to be agreeing with Thumper. I give it 2x a day through her skin (not systemic) so it's more gentle to her system. It's to early to tell since it's just been a week of dosing, we are thinking it probably will take a full month to start to see results of anykind from the new remedy.

Jenn: Reiki treatments are definetly working. Each week the gal doing it sees the improvements more than we do since Thumper is with us on a daily basis. Where I can tell a difference is by feeling various areas of her head.
What use to be "bumpy" is smooth.

Rg-girca & Cathy1: Yes, the right side has gone down. The area around her eye is more open. The boney extention going back to her ear is down.
The top of her head like I said in Jenn's response is smoother. Sometimes it's hard to tell in the photos but touching that area you can definetly tell there is a difference for the good.

It has become apparent that the boney mass is "healing" from the right side to center of her head. Why this way, we dont know. This is an area of 4 inchs by 3 inches so lots to heal. This is going to take some time and we are committed to Thumper and Reiki treatments 1000 percent.
The gal doing the treatments has very positive feelings and Thumper trusts her 2000 percent. It's amazing process to experience.

Thank you all again for continued prayers and good thoughts for our Thumper.

I just spent the last few minutes reading through this thread. First, I felt so sad for Thumper but now I'm so happy that the Reiki treatments are working!

I'm sending many positive thoughts and prayer out to you and Thumper. Thanks so much for updating us and educating us on this new therapy. Give Thumper a gentle hug from me!

OMG! I have just been catching up on a month's worth of posts that I've missed, and this one has touched me the most!


Poor Thumper! And poor Thumper's family for going through this!!

Just when you think you have it bad...........


My heart goes out to you Thumper for being so brave throughout this whole ordeal, and to your family who obviously loves you VERY, VERY much!!

[Craftlady]

Thank You CatsnClay for your kind words. It has been a ordeal but we are all hanging in here.

Here's a photo of side/back area which is coming down. It appears the tumor is healing from outside inward.

I have more photos on a blog site I've made for her. If anyone is interested pm me for the site address.

WOW.

It seems like her eyes are no longer being "pulled" by the stretching the mass was causing. Am I seeing that right? Regular kitty eyes - and such a pretty green!

Couldn't see her face-on in the 5th treatment photos...and don't know what the back looked like before.

Definite improvement!

HUGS to little Thumper and her Meowmie and to her blessed healers.

Yes, her eye is not being "pulled" as much. Actually what was happening before Reiki treatments is the tumor was coming down and taking over her eye.

Especially with this side view the back part has smoothed out and come down just to her ear area going inward to the center. The top of her head also as smoothed out it used to have 2 lumps you could feel.

[Catty1]

How far was the lump down the back of her head before?

(I might have seen it, but all I can remember is that pretty face! )

[Craftlady]

How far was the lump down the back of her head before?

Where it is now in the photo is the location. What has changed is the lump area back there is smoothing out and rescending upward.

[catcrazylady]

That is amazing Becky! I can really see the difference from the first few photos. Prayers still coming for sweet Thumper.

6th Reiki Treatment Today 12-10-06

[jenluckenbach]

How do YOU think she is doing? I can't really tell from the photo if there is change or not. I mean, she looks good, but does the "mass" look different?

There is a significant change since we first started. The photos unfortunately that I put on Pet Talk are resized so they aren't giantic and take up so much space, I have a pet peeve about people NOT resizing photos and just throwing them up on chat sites.

I post some photos that are larger than normaly would post here.

Answer to your questions, Thumper is doing great with the Reiki Treatments and the herbal cancer remedy. We see physical changes also her breathing is so much better. The "mass" was starting to engulf her right eye & ear (looking at photos posted it would be to everyones left and/or the area under her ear that is becoming hairless and showes up white in photos). Now, it's reseeding. The "swelling" is going down from outside of her head inward to the center and leftside.
Her right side (again left in photos) is down. It's very hard to measure when a cats head is constanting moving LOL. It's more visable in person that one side is lower than other.

When I could get a semi accurate measurement, It started as as 4x3 mass
Yes, your reading it right 4 inches across (ear to ear) and 3 inches (front to back of her head). Height I cant measure and nothing comes to mind to compare it to for size purposes.


Here's a photo taken on July 10th 2006.

God, poor Thumper... she just looks so uncomfortable. I'm hoping she's not, but that's the look because of the eyes I guess.

It looked the other day like the eyes weren't as stretched, but today it looks like they are being stretched again... am I not seeing that correctly.

To think she went from July to November is just astounding. Do they know what caused it? I mean, what precipitates something like this??

Hugs to Thumper and to you. I'd be a total mess at this point.

No, her eyes arent stretched again. It's the angle I took the photo and how she was trying NOT to look at the camera. LOL Also I took the photos with two different cameras. The ones in December are from the newest camera which is way better than old one. I'm not use to all the "bells and whistles" so I might not get the shots good.

The cause...... when she was a kitten her "soft spot" on her head did not heal together. Thus, all these years later calcium gradually started to build up and went nuts from July to October, then according to test results of biopsy came back cancerous tumor.

The gal who is doing the treatments does NOT get the vibes that this is cancerous. IF it was cancerous, an aniamal who was gravely ill would NOT let a Reiki Master (that's her cerification title) touch them. The animal would push their hands away. Thumper wants her hands all over her body.
