    No, nothing yet Karen. I was told it would take about 2 days to get results so I should hear something tomorrow. All my other kitties have passed from old age so this is my first experience with feline cancer. I shamefully admit that I've been home all day and in my lazy-boy with Merlin on my chest sleeping. He's in front of the fireplace now so will head downstairs to the workout room for a bit.

    More later when I hear.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Lighting some candles for you and Merlin. Give him some loving from me too, Slick. All of us understand the position that you are in and wish that we could make it easier for you,

    Diagnosis confirmed: Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
    Dr. Singh estimates that I have two months with him at best.

    Slick,

    I am truly sorry to see this news about Merlin. I know you will cherish every moment you have with him and will hold you both in my thoughts.

    Please take care. Hugs, Betty
    Yours in Whiskers

    Slick, I mentioned this to the vets today on the Ask the Vets radio show, and they talked quite a bit about his cancer, and what you can do to keep him comfiest in his remaining time with you. I'll email you the audio files when I get them, okay?

    Karen, thank you so very much. He is still eating well but I can see signs of slight struggle when swallowing. I sure wish I could get that radio show up here. Do you happen to know what extension the audio files will have? Just want to make sure I am able to open it. Thanks again. Now it's time for Merlin's Magical Blend (that's what I call the med combo).
