Yes, there are tumors that are non cancerous.
But it is my understanding, in people anyway, that any tumor in the brain is
automatically considered cancer for some reason.
I could be wrong on this.
I was told this from my friend who has a tumor on her pituitary gland, which
has since "sprung" a baby.
She has named them"pete"& "repeat".
Great gal.
Usedtowork w/her @ the AHS in the clinic, very dedicated to the animals.
Went towork for the HSUS on movie sets,now she regulates the animal usage in
films.
The stories she can tell........ :)
After Katrina she took sometime off tohelp in New Orleans, was trained to do
"water rescues".
I need to email her.........

Subject: RE: Question about eye ulcers -Update
I have had a cat once before who ended up with one eye, his cornea had
flipped and his eye had to be removed. He never acted like he was missing
anything. Right now I am very glad to have had that experience so I have
little worries about her being one-eyed. I did ask the vet about cancer, and
she feels that the tumor is not cancer related, and that I should not worry
about that. My husband asked me if there is such a thing as a tumor not being
cancer, and I realized that I have no idea. I told my boss at work today about
the surgery and was surprised that she offered me the day off (she is NOT an
animal person). I will keep you all posted as soon as I know anything. I
appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers and support. This is especially hard
with my mother living 2000 miles away and not being able to be here for me.
Thank you all,
Chris

Chris,
Prayers that little Kaylee's surgery is a success. I'm sorry you guys are
going through this. I never even considered a tumor when I read your posts.
Did the vet think that the cancer will be limited to the eye only? I sure hope
so. Our Smookie only has one eye and she does great. She doesn't even know
she only has one eye! So Kaylee should do just fine being a pirate! Please
keep us posted tomorrow or soon after if you get a chance and let us know how
she does. She's lucky to have you in her corner!
:)
Wendy

Subject: Question about eye ulcers -Update
Well, after spending over 2 hours at the vets this morning, it turns out that
Kaylee does not have conjunctivitis, herpes or a corneal ulcer. What she does
have is a tumor. She will be going into surgery on Tuesday to have the tumor
and, unfortunately, the eye removed. I am very worried about this since I have
heard so many horror stories about FeLV+ cats not making it through surgery.
Please say a prayer for a successful surgery, removal of the tumor and a good
recovery.
Thanks,
Chris
