Jen, I'm not very timely at the moment with my email, but just wanted to say 
I'm sending lots of positive vibes for Ewok. I hope the little furball is doing 
ok. Kerry

That's good to hear!  I know Ewok's prognosis, statistically, isn't
good...so it always helps to hear about success stories with other FeLV+
cats!  There's no harm in hoping that Ewok will be around for awhile,
right?  I don't want to jinx anything!!  :)

  There is a specific cat named Sambe, Mom is Stacy, she is 
 extremely busy and doesn't post often, but her Samba is FeLV 
 positive 
 and is going strong last I heard about a month or so ago.  They are 
 in 
 Kansas.  I believe he has lymphoma, he was diagnosed right after my 
 Buddie and I lost Buddie a year ago after her year long fight with 
 cancer, so Sambe has been in remission for about 2 years.

Thanks, Tonya!  Yeah, I think there may have been something up with the
list over the weekend...hopefully the problem has been resolved!  :)

Ewok, so far, is doing pretty well...he's breathing much easier so I
take that as good news that the tumor is shrinking...I'm trying not to
get my hopes up too much as the lymphomas I've dealt with in the past
have been soo aggressive... :(  If he does go into remission, I fear
that it won't be for very long...anyhoo, I'm trying not to think about
that...he's feeling pretty good right now and that's all that
matters...I had no idea that I could spoil him any more that I already
had!  :)

My alternative vet put Kitty on Intrasound for cancer.  She said her uncle
had bladder cancer for several years, took Intrasound and had no pain until
the very end and then very little.   I'm not convinced Kitty has cancer
although she does have tumors (there is a big difference).  Intrasound can
be found on the internet and is not that expensive if you decide this is
something you are interested in pursuing..

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

My alternative vet put Kitty on Intrasound Powder and MacroForce to boost
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.

 My alternative vet put Kitty on Intrasound Powder and MacroForce to 
 boosther 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 
 parentsand 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.

:)  Thanks, Jenn!  I needed that pep-talk!  :)  I'm just hoping that
Ewok's tumor responds better to chemo that our Pips' did...although I
hear that chest tumors respond much more readily to chemo than
intestinal tumors (which Pips had).

And you're lucky...I had my sights set on the tequila bottle originally!
 LOL! ;)

Thanks, Susan...that means alot!  Ewok isn't too keen on the shaving bit
right now, but something's making him feel a little better as he's got
more spunk now than he's had in the past week...I hope this works!
