Bravo Tracey!!

This is exactly what we will do if a similar situation arises with one of our cats.

Thanks Grace. I'm glad that to hear this and that you understand.

You just let me know if there's anything I can do, or if you need any information from me. My prayers are with you and Sunny. If you drop off, you know I'll be contacting you!

Maggie

Thanks so much Maggie. I most likely will have some questions for you in the future.

Sorry, Tracey.

The photodynamic thing looked really hopeful to me, as a dye is injected that lights up the cancer cells, and the laser is trained to hit THOSE cells, not the healthy ones. The dye is a newer development.

Kaiser Permanente uses PDT, as do many dermatologists. Whether a researcher at KP would give this a go, or know a vet who would, I don't know.

It was just a thought...it seemed non-invasive, no "surgery" as such, and effective and I thought there might be a hope.

Hugs to Sunny.

Candace, I know that you only meant to provide me with information that could possibly help my Sunny. I'm sure that if there was a vet out in my area that did this that my vet would know about it. She specializes in felines, is preparing to become board certified in feline medicine,which she may have already done,and she's also doing a fellowship at U.C. Davis. Thanks for your research work.
