Is this lump bothering the cat at all? Is she itching the area? Rolling on it? Any signs it is an issue for her?

I had a fine needle aspiration on my lymph node in the back of my head recently with no anesthetic!It was painful, but not totally unbearable. I think a FNA is the most logical approach!

Um - Kirsten's vet did NOT recommend the needle biopsy as it would wreak havoc if it WAS cancer! That's what I read in her response, anyway.
Kirsten, go with your gut - try the Silicea for now, and see if it helps.
Just might be one of those pesky lumps!

Thumper had her needle biospy done with novicane (like dentist uses for numbing teeth) and she didnt feel anything from the experience.
Please learn from my present experience with Thumper, that "let's wait and see" is not what a vet should be saying when there is a "lump". You cant tell anything from justing looking using the naked eye, I dont care how qualified a vet, they arent super natural people who can see through objects.
I'd get a needle biopsy.

Because a lot of humans have insurance plans that help with paying for the havoc!
But it seems to me there are times I've heard of where a doctor doens't want to "open someone up" for an exploratory, as the effect of that on possible cancer is like putting gas on a fire.

Yes, I do know that is true for exploratory surgery of cancer. But I would think with just a fine needle aspiration it wouldn't really cause much damage since it was really being cut in to. But that's just my thinking ... not based on any facts!Because a lot of humans have insurance plans that help with paying for the havoc!
