Latest Update 12-9-09 Storm's Been Diagnosed & Sunny's Biopsy Results

[gini]

Tracey - your story is very close to home for me. I have been where you are.

All I can say is that the time you have with Sunny will become one of your fondest memories. What is ahead is not pleasant - but as Barbara said,
when we love our animals as we do - this is just part of it.

You have my prayers and good thoughts of comfort for you and Sunny.

How is everyone doing this morning, including you, Tracey?

Hi Mary, thanks for asking. I'm doing okay and Sunny is still doing well. He's still eating well and he talks to me and some times he'll also do his howling in the hall way. I haven't seen him run around and play with his siblings though.

Yesterday he slept a lot more and I think that his tumor is already starting to get a bit bigger. We had a nice cuddle session this morning before I got up and I'm really going to miss this. I only have 6 more days of work this year,if I have to work on Sat. then it would be 7,and then I'll be able to be home and enjoy my Sunny and hopefully we'll have some good quality time together.

I really do need to charge my batteries and take some pictures of him before he gets too bad and also the rest of my cats. Time goes by so quickly and I'd hate to miss out on taking some more memorable pictures.

I am completely with you. I am very unhappy that Tigris had to go through that biopsy - but without that we hadn't even known whether it was cancer and the vet and we both hoped it would be something treatable. But when you know this already I would never put him through surgery, radiation, bad tasting medicine or anything the like. Sunny is happy now and will be ok to go in some time. You will by no means be ready and the pain will stay fresh for a long time but this is the thing we have to suffer for our love.

Thanks Barbara. I know you understand what I'm going through.

Thanks Gini. I hope to have many wonderful memories of my Sunny boy.

Pictures now are a very good idea. As Gini said, what is ahead is not pleasant, and you don't want to look back and regret not taking them. Enjoy the cuddles and time with Sunny.
