it gave me six more
months to love that beautiful baby girl.I dont think I could go through that
again emotionally or financially.

Hello. My beloved Emma is 5 ½ years old. Two years ago she was diagnosed
as being FeLV+.
I don’t know how this happened. I raised
Dear Caroline, Belinda, Diane, and Michele,
Thanks so much for sharing and for your kindness. It's very helpful
and comforting to hear from people what have been through something
similar and/or who truly care.
I know there are no easy answers as to the best thing to do or not to
do. My
I'm so sorry - I agree, I have little faith in chemo for cats. And
this is such a personal decision to make. There is some chemo that
has helped in situations I've had with lymphoma cats, but it seems to
be in shrinking lymph nodes temporarily. I've had fluid drawn out of
chest areas
Thank you, Gloria.I think what's adding to the fact that I have
little faith in the Veterinary community is the fact that it seems as
though many veterinarians don't know a whole lot about FeLV. It's
difficult because I expect to be able to turn to the Veterinarians so I
can get accurate
Yup, I remember using Prednisone too - and it did help. I'm not sure,
but I think it not only suppresses symptoms, but suppresses the
inflammation, so guess less fluid collecting in the chest area (or
whereever).

I really understand what you are going through and how difficult it
is to
make decisions with your head while your heart is punctured.
I think of the line in the poem by I Townsend that reads

Hello. My beloved Emma is 5 ½ years old. Two years ago she was diagnosed

I dont know how this happened. I raised Emma and her sisters from the time
they were about two days old.
Her sisters are negative, as are my other cats, despite the fact that they
have all lived together

Caroline,
I'm really sorry that Monkee had such a difficult time, I also
believe we are all here for a given time and once it is our time to go,
we go.
It is my understanding anytime there is a tumor on a limb, the limb
should be amputated, this in almost all cases along with chemo and

If the cancer had already spread and the leg had been removed, the
outcome may very well have been the same, there are just some kitties
that chemo just doesn't seem to work for.
My Mikie (FeLV+) way back in 1994 had kidney cancer, we did chemo and he
responded instantly, I kid you not, he got
Hi,
I am sorry about Emma. As someone else mentioned the important thing is to find
a good oncologist. It is possible that Emma does not have FeLV and that the
test was a false positive. Does she have any symptoms of FeLV? My cat (FeLV
negative) was diagnosed with Lymphoma about 5 years ago.
