Please help save Sydney's life!

I will call and make a donation either tomorrow or Thursday. I'm not sure if I will be home when the hospital will be opened tomorrow. I'll plan on waiting for an update from you tomorrow and calling them on Thursday. I will be hoping for good news for you and dear Sydney.

When you get there, you will get to see how the staff are with animals. Tell them about your worries, that Sydney has never been away from home for so long!

Glad you are sending some things with her that smell like 'home'. Got a t shirt you haven't washed yet? Throw that in too!

Sydney looks still quite perky from what you said - she is eating and all - so hopefully it is a good start for her!

Maybe ask them about the Regressin - though the treatment sounds pretty effective!

I sent a small donation. I know it wasn't much, but every little bit helps. Prays for you and Sydney. Please keep us posted.

So I went to Auburn today, and Sydney went through a battery of tests - kidney, spleen, and bone marrow aspirations, ultrasound, blood tests, ct scan, the works, and we found out that the Lymphoma has spread to one of her kidneys, making the Lymphoma systemic, and therefore Sydney not a candidate for the acceleration radiation therapy. When my vet did a ultrasound this past monday, apparently she missed all of that. Well, this means I had to take Sydney home. We are now going to have to start her on a very intense series of chemotherapy treatments over the next 6 months. Lets just say it was a long ride home. Ironically, since the chemo needs this super potent agent added to the normal COP protocol, it is still going to cost $4500, on top of the $600 I charged today for the tests. So here I go again. Sydney, is happy to be home, and I started her on her prednisone tonight. I am happy that she is home for me, but saddened by the fact that her cancer is more serious then first expected. I am still praying that the chemo will work. I will keep everyone posted with what happens next. Again thank you everyone for your support and help.

I am so sorry to hear this news. I kept checking to read a good update. Did they give you an indication of how successful this treatment is? Can Sydney get the treatments from a vet close to home? Can you post the vet information for who is giving the chemo so that donations can be made to them? I sure hope for the best possible outcome for you and Sydney. Give her lots of love.

[Catty1]

Oh, no. HUGS and major prayers for you and Sydney!

I gather she will be having the chemo locally?

Let us know, we will help however we can! Give Sydney extra hugs and cuddles from me.

Good news that aggressive chemo will be tried.

HUGS!

the picture of Sydney with a donation can is a good idea, also maybe you can ask vet clinics if you can put a donation can with a pic Of your cat and her story on the counter? try this a 2 or 3 vets for a week and see how it goes, if goes well you can ask a few more vets in your area...

Sydney is such a sweet looking kitty, I sure hope she gets well quickly!

I just joined this thread and wish you and Sydney the best. I know what its like to struggle with a sick pet and huge medical bills.

I realize your schedule is probably filled to the max with school and work, but here's a suggestion that might bring in some extra money:

try www.liveops.com

click on become an agent

I do this for extra income. Basically its a work-at-home job, very flexible. You set your own schedule, you can even work unscheduled. You take phone calls for sales orders, people call in for stuff they see on TV, pizza, flowers, etc. Pay is per min of talk time, so if no one calls, no pay. I typically average about $10/hour, some days better than others. It takes time to get past training, I'd say about a month before you make anything real. Startup costs are minimal, you just need a seperate, dedicated phone line and computer and headphones. I've found LiveOps to be great to pick up extra income for various reasons.

Also, check into www.chacha.com. This is also a work at home job, you research questions people text in. Pay is per answer, there again, the first month is usually not much but I've heard of people making $400-$600/month for not that much time.

Hope these suggestions help and the best of luck to you and little Sydney.
