Catty1, thank you so much for your support and generosity. I am making a list of questions to ask my vet next week and I am going to have to sit down and figure out which treatment option will be the best and least painful for her. Unfortunately, the closest veterinarian specialist and/or teaching hospital is 5 hours away (Auburn, Alabama). My vet is consulting with them next week and will be getting back to me. Once I have made a decision on what to do, I will be applying to IMOM for some help. The vet told me whether I go with chemo or surgery, it will probably cost $3,000 +. I am currently in the process of calling my family to see if they can help a little bit. I am trying to stay productive, so I can give my baby her last figting chance. I will keep everyone posted.

1. Treatment options: Cryogenic surgery? (freeze-drying the tumour?) Is there a specialist you can take Sydney to? OR, is there a veterinary teaching hospital not too far away?

2. How about a second opinion from a homeopathic vet?

3. Medications: Regressin? (Prednisone will help swelling and keep Sydney more comfortable.

4. Transfer Factor - here is the link: http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/tf/s/pets.htm

I could not find the personal testimony page, but here is the email addy of the person Emeraldgreen has been in touch with: Feline squamous cell tumor in remission

AND - remember that there are lots of people here willing to help out if $$ get crazy! This is your baby's life and we all understand that.

I have a cheque coming in in the next few days, and could certainly spare a bit.
