Amanda, I think you may want to join the Felinelymphoma yahoo group, I am a member and there are many there whose kitties have had this type of cancer before, it is one that is very treatable but only if you treat quickly and aggressively. You can join the group here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/feline_lymphoma And have a look at our website here: http://www.felinelymphomacaregivers.org/cases.html That page deals with the different types of cancer and the Mediastinal Lymphoma [chest cavity] is the one you want to read and become familiar with. Read the case studies of the kitties who have had this type of cancer and in particular Andi's story. We just recently lost her but she was in remission for about 6 years. http://www.felinelymphomacaregivers.org/andi.html The vet and protocol info is invaluable. The group is full of people who care and can offer a great support system. Just an FYI, Mediastinal Lymphoma is almost always very aggressive and needs to be treated aggressively, the second protocol [L-Asparaginase/vincristine/prednisone] or a variation of of it would be the preferred protocol for large cell. Large cell cancer spreads very quickly, that's what I mean by aggressive, the prednisolone and clorambucil protocol is used for smal cell cancers which spread much more slowly and takes longer to go into remission. Large cell usually goes into remission very quickly if treated aggrssively and quickly enough. My prayers to you and your sweet Silver Chan. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ... http://bemikitties.com http://BelindaSauro.com _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
