    I am so sorry to hear your kitty might have cancer.
    We recently lost a kitty to fibrosarcoma. But, Halo's was a very large tumor and very aggressive. She had 2 surgeries to remove the tumors but they came back faster and larger. (Please keep in mind, they were very large, not pea-sized like your cats').

    It sounds like you have caught it much earlier than we did. So, I would imagine your outcome will be better.

    I'm not a vet, but from what I've been told, the "different" lung x-ray may have nothing to do with fibrosarcoma. Our vet explained that fibrosarcoma isn't a cancer that gets into the bloodstream and goes to other organs. Instead, it grows roots into surrounding tissue. The roots are microscopic and almost impossible to remove completely. Our vet did not recommend chemo or radiation, but that could be because Halo's cancer was so aggressive.

    She was diagnosed in May. Had surgery in May and again in July. We had to let her go in September.

    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.
