Ok after much discussion with my bf and consulting with a few different oncologists I have decided to move forward with radiation treatment. My bf who has been very supportive made a good point which was I would not be able to forgive myself if I didn't exhaust whatever reasonable options are available for my cat to get better. I just couldn't live with the guilt. Afterall he is my 16 lb. baby!My bf is going to give me half of the money and I can probably put the rest on my credit cards. It still is going to be very tight financially the next 2-3 months but the oncologist said I can spread out Panther's treatment over a 6 week timeframe instead of 4 weeks so that will help a little.
Today Panther went in for the remaining bloodwork and x-ray tests to make sure he is able to withstand the radiation treatments and the anethesia he is going to need each time. I should get the results Monday and if all is well he starts his first radiation treatment next week. On a positive note his biopsy margin results came back clean so I am really hopeful that after his radiation treaments he will be completely cancer free!!!
