OH dear...I didn't know Regressin was so fussy of a drug! IF - IF your vet has heard of it and has used it, he might think of a way it could still be used, perhaps in conjunction with everything else you will do.
I can see it needing to be in the system prior to surgery...but two weeks? WOW.
I wish they could just squirt it on the area!
Found this recommended use of Regressin in urinary cancer in cats:
EXAMPLE 11
Hyaluronic Acid Treatment of Malignancy Associated Cystitis
Patients with cystitis associated with a malignancy of the urinary bladder and associated structures receive intravesical instillation of hyaluronic acid having an average molecular weight of 6.5×105 Daltons in an amount effective to treat the cystitis and containing an amount of the anticancer immunotherapeutic agent mycobacterial cell wall extract preparation (Regressin™, Vetrepharm, Inc., London, Ontario, Canada) effective to treat the malignancy. Outcome criteria include improvement of symptoms based on decreases in pre-therapy symptoms and regression in the malignancy as indicated by urinary cytology.
Fifty ml of normal saline (USP) containing 40 mg of hyaluronic acid having an average molecular weight of 6.5×105 Daltons and 4 mg of the anticancer immunotherapeutic agent mycobacterial cell wall (Regressin™) is instilled into the urinary bladder under aseptic conditions using a urethral catheter. The catheter is removed and the hyaluronic acid-mycobacterial cell wall solution is maintained in the urinary bladder for 30 minutes to 2 hours. The treatment is repeated as needed. After treatment, there is a marked improvement in pre-therapy symptoms and urinary cytological examination is negative for cancerous and precancerous cells. No adverse side effects of the treatment are reported.

I'll shut up after this...this site is not too over-the-top, but it might be a product for you to research and consider."Regressin (October, 1984) is an emulsion of mycobacterial cell walls which have been modified to reduce their toxic and allergic effects, and retain their antitumor activity...88% effective for immunotherapy of mixed mammary tumors and mammary adenocarcinomas of dogs." Injected directly into the tumor. The tumor dies and drains. Other tumors typically regress even though not injected. i.e. Same principle as homeopathy and nosodes.

Two testimonials - and they have email addresses, so what the heck.
Cat cured of squamous cell tumor
Feline Tumor Gone!
"My cat Bodger, who is now16, has been taking the Transfer Factors Advanced Plus. Now, nearly 18 months later I've taken him back to the vet practice for a check up. He still has some discharge from the right side, but no blood and is generally in good health. I saw a different vet this time and he told me there was no way my cat had a nasal tumor of the type diagnosed back in August 2004, because if he had, he'd be dead due to the agressive nature of these type of tumor! He reckons he has sinusitus, due to the previous nasal damage as a kitten, which I always knew he had, but definitely NO TUMOR! So, what can I say but a fantastic result. You are very welcome to include this on your website if it will help others to help their pets. Incidentaly, the vet took all the information on Transfer Factors and was really interested having seen Bodger today." Judith Sexton torteval2 @ hotmail.com
Feline squamous cell tumor in remission
From Bethany in Texas email: fingerpaint<at>gmail.com
A year and a half ago, my cat was diagnosed with a squamous cell tumor. The doctor told me that given the location of this tumor and the aggressive nature of it, there really was nothing I could do. He told me to bring her back for weekly steroid shots and keep her comfortable until she died, which he said would most likely be within a month. She did nothing but lay around. She wouldn't eat, wouldn't play, wouldn't respond to affection. I did as he said, for one week. And then I decided I wasn't going to accept "there's nothing you can do" as an answer. I got on the internet. I googled furiously. What I found, was your site, and Transfer Factor.
I started her out on two (Transfer Factor Advanced Plus) pills a day, and within a week, she was back to her normal energy level. Within a month, she'd stopped clawing at her face. After three months, I went down to one pill a day, and that's where we are now, a year and a half later. She won't be fooled by putting the contents in her food, so I've used her fastidious nature against her: I mix the TF with a pinch of butter and put the mixture on her paws. She hates it, and licks it off immediately. She's learned to live with this daily ritual for the most part, but she still gets this "Oh mom, not AGAIN" look on her face. She's responded so wonderfully. It's like she's a kitten again, playing with her yarn and rubbing against my face. I look at her every day and am simply amazed, that the veterinian was going to be content with steroids until the poor thing finally died.
I recommended the Transfer Factor to my neighbor, whose 11 year old dog was diagnosed with bone cancer and given less than three months to live. That was a year ago - the dog is doing fine!
