Lucas has cancer (5-22-06)

**jazzcat** · 05-22-2006, 01:46 PM

Oh Jen, my heart is breaking!!

I am so so very sorry.

I'm sure my decision about the chemo would be exactly like yours. With so many tumors I would just concentrate on making him comfortable and happy.

You, Charlie and Lucas are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh Jen.....

I just don't know what to say. I'm so very sorry. If it were Max, I would make the same decision as you, although I have known people who have put their kitties through chemo and came through with flying colours.

{{{hugs}}} Jen.

I'm so sorry! I hope your vet can find a way to keep Lucas comfy and that you get some more loving time with him.

My decision on the chemo would be the same as yours. In fact, Stuart and I have already talked about and decided what we will do in this situation(just by sheer numbers, it's likely to happen someday!).

I'm so sorry to hear about Lucas, but we all know that you will make the best decision for him when it comes time to make decisions.

Oh Jen, I am so sorry. To have resisted all that treatment, Lucas' condition must have been serious, but I am so, so sorry to hear this.

Lots of hugs to you and Lucas tonight.

Jen... what can I say that would comfort you? I am at a loss for words. Just love him more and harder than ever and we will keep him and you in our prayers!

Oh Jen, I am so very sorry! I agree with just making him comfortable.
((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))) to you!!! Give Charlie my regards as well.

I'm so sorry. I was so hoping it would be something curable, but 5 tumors....

From what you were saying though, he is acting completely normal so maybe, like with Peanut, the tumors aren't really bothering him except for the diarrhea. I know you will do what's best for your boy and I sure hope he can be kept comfortable for many months to come.
