Nina,
I'm finally caught up with all the updates on Spencer.
As I was reading your last post, your decision for
Spencer for right now felt right to me. Sending
encouragement your way and healing prayers for

Please keep us posted on him.

I know of a FeLV cat in Kansas City that is 2 years post cancer
diagnosis and still going strong, Nina you may remember Stacy and Samba
from the lymphoma list, she doesn't post hardly at all anymore but I
check Samba's daily calendar every once in a while and he is still in
remission.

Oh Hideyo, your words are so wise and evolved! You're absolutely
right, we are all "terminal" from the moment we are born. Everyone and
everything has their time here and then passes away. We sometimes

I would not taper off the steroids either. Cats in general tolerate them
