My alternative vet put Kitty on Intrasound Powder and MacroForce to

her immune system. She has tumors in both lungs (unrelated to
FeLV) that
the vets believe are cancer (I don't agree--I believe they are from
histoplasmosis because she was feral when she came to live with my
parents
and spent most of her kittenhood in a starling infested pine
thicket). I
refused to try chemo or surgery on her over 6 months ago and she
is doing
very well. You might check the internet for the active ingredient in
MacroForce. I know it comes in several forms. She also drinks water
treated with Willard Water.
Good luck.

Oh Jen, I'm so sorry - Here's lifting a glass of wine to Ewok,
may he get
well and prosper. Sounds like a great guy. Gloria

Damn, damn, damn...but I can't tell you guys enough how so very
proud
of this little man I am...my vet was able to get us into the
oncologist's office straight away and it was confirmed that he has
lymphosarcoma in his chest cavity. He went through his first
round of
chemo this morning (everything has happened so fast...I'll
probably be
hitting the wine supply shortly...forget going back to
work! ;) )...anyhoo, all we can do now is wait and see how the
tumor
responds. My vet was actually quite impressed with his overall
health
(bloodwork, etc.) that she even retested him for leukemia to see
if he
hadn't thrown the virus off...but, unfortunately, he's still
coming up
positive. No mattter, though, he seems to be pretty upbeat
irregardless...incessently grooming all his shaved spots...if all
goes
well, the oncologist says perhaps six to eight months (although he
treated a feleuk guy who's going on 2 years remission), and I'll
take
it seeing as though, for these Feleuk guys, 6 months is a
lifetime...
Thank you all so much for your good wishes, they truly mean the
world
to me, especially in the days ahead!
