    Thank you so much for all your comments... I do have a picture, but I'm at my friends destination wedding and I don't have one I can post. I'm trying to enjoy myself, but it's so difficult when I just want to be with her in case she's not ok.
    Her name is Claire... I call her Claire-bear..
    I guess the only thing I can hope for is the little lumps come back just benign.
    Thanks again and I'll post back with results from Tuesday.

    I've not had experience w/this but I just wanted to say that my prayers are going up for your Claire-bear. It's tough waiting for answers and making decisions when our sweet furbabies trust us completely to take good care of them and make the hurt go away. Praying for a good outcome.....keep the faythe. (((HUGS)))
    Blessings,
    Mary

    I'm so sorry to hear this. I don't have any advice except to enjoy the time that you have left with her. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

    Like kuhio98, I, too, have had experience with this awful disease; my Morganna went to the Bridge because of it several years ago. In her case, the tumor was on her rump and was caused by the 3-year rabies vaccine. She had a surgery for a biopsy, and another to remove the tumor. When the tumor returned the following year, we were referred to a veterinary surgeon who removed most of Morganna's hind leg. She was 'clean' for nearly two years when the tumor returned a second time. I made the decision to keep her as comfortable as possible for as long as possible, then I had her sent to the Bridge.

    My understanding of fibrosarcoma is much like kuhio's: it doesn't spread, it just grows. In other words, it seems unlikely that it's in her lungs - to me, at least, but I'm no vet or vet tech. I also wonder that there are two of them. Morganna's tumor was caused by an excessive reaction to the adjuvant in the 3-year vaccine; Halo's was caused by the injection of her microchip. What has Claire had that might cause fibrosarcoma? I hope with all my heart that I'm right and the vet is wrong. Please keep us posted on what happens. A prayer for Claire has just been said.

    Mr. Spunky had fibrosarcoma 5 years back. He had the surgery and it's not come back, but I caught it early. It was malignant, but has not re-appeared. The doc said she couldn't predict what would happen.

    Prayers for you and Claire-bear

    Prayers for you and your cat, Clairebear. God be with you both.

    She came out of surgery fine... and I should know what the little lumps are by tomorrow or Thursday.. I got home from the wedding Sunday and she just ran around like she always does. But as soon as I saw her, I just picked her up, kissed her and started crying. It's so nice to not feel so alone.... Thank you for all your support, prayers and well wishes... God has a plan... He brought her into my life when I needed her the most.... and I have given her a very loving home. I'll let you know as soon as I know something. Again, thank you soooooooo much, from the bottom of my heart, it makes me feel so much better!!
