Poor little guy. He looks so happy in the video with his catnip toy. I hope he can be kept
pain free as long as possible.

I am so sorry. I hope he won't be in great pain. He's beautiful!

[Felicia's Mom]

I am sorry. I will keep him in my prayers.

UPDATE: Tuxedo Stan is doing VERY well. <big smile>
The tumors in both kidneys have shrunken considerably since his last chemo treatment (cyclophosphamide) 2 weeks ago. He is happy, his appetite is good and he continues to stir up lots of trouble in Catopia. We came close to euthanasia prior to the cyclophosphamide treatment as he was starting to become very lethargic and his appetite was disappearing as the tumors grew.
Stan will be receiving his final chemo treatment tomorrow morning (vincristine). After that, we will focus on keeping him happy and healthy for as long possible.
Although his vets give the cyclophosphamide the credit for his turnaround, Tuxedo Stan says it was the well wishes from his supporters that helped pull him through. If that's the case, please keep those words of love and encouragement coming - we read EVERY ONE.
Thanks again for all your support! STAN FANS ROCK!

What wonderful news! Well done, Stan and your Purrrsons and your vets!

We continue to pray and send along all our warmest healing energies for you.

Way to go, Stan! I've had two cats with cancer. It's amazing how well they tolerate chemo, when so many "regular" drugs are highly toxic. Maybe because the doses are at intervals.

What a BEAUTY he is! I pray he continues to get better.
