Thank you for the support! I have been on such an emotional rolllercoaster the last 2 weeks that it has been very difficult to concentrate on work and such.
After consulting my vet I decided to take my cat to a specialty center where they have an oncology dept. and specialize in more aggressive surgeries. Everything happened so fast. I made an apt. yesterday just for a consultation and exam but ended up agreeing to surgery that day. I just brought him home and he is doing ok. The mass was removed along with some leg muscle tissue so he is limping a bit but otherwise fine. The whole ride side of his body and front legs are shaven and he has these huge stitches. When I picked him up my heart sank. He looks so sad. I couldn't stop kissing him. Overall he seems in good spirits.
The biopsy results should be in by next week. As of now I still have no idea if what was removed was cancerous or scar tissue. It scares the hell of out me because even though this mass was removed there still could be microscopic margins of it left and if that is the case we are back in the same position. Since the needle aspiration came back inconclusive I am hoping that the biopsy results come back with more information, hopefully positive info too!
As of now I am finding it very difficult to keep him from jumping. I am so afraid that his stitches are going to pop open. Any suggestions? I've been following him all day and he is a little rascal. He wants to jump on everything.
Edited to say that my baby is 10 yrs. old and still pretty feisty.
