That's great!!  I hope it continues for a long time, too.  If at  some point 
she stops responding, there are a few chemo drugs to ask about-- CCNU  being 
one, Elspar being another if she is not using it now.  But hopefully  that will 
not be the case for a long time.
 
Your old vet should be ashamed of himself.  Unfortunately, vets like  him are 
more the norm than the exception-- it is how they respond.  I am  hopeful 
about this changing, slowly, because I met an intern who told me that at  least 
some vet schools are now teaching that FeLV is not a death sentence  and cats 
can live a long time with it, and that cats with it should be treated  for the 
problems that arise.

Thanks Michelle.  I thing the COP protocol is old but she has had  good 
success with it....so we will go with it for now.
 
I have already joined the lymphoma group, thanks!
 
She is doing great today!  Eating, wandering around the house, on  the 
computer desk now, been looking out the patio doors/they are closed,  rubbing 
up 
against the doggies that are her friends, kissing me, meowing,  purring....
 
She was NOT doing that stuff Tues and Wed !!!!  not much of it Thurs  
either....started today!  I am encouraged.  I know it is just the  beginning 
and I am 
hopeful that we will have much more time together.
