Stacy,
I am sorry to hear your outcome. Since I am currently going through the same
thing I can understand all of your concerns. It looks like his WBC count is
OK, my vet would definitely do a treatment with it that high! You have the
added benefit of having an oncologist at your disposal.
Stacy, you've gotten lots of advise on treating the lymphoma. I just wanted to
add the importance of feeding Spanky. Cancer cells consume a lot of calories.
Spanky will need 1 1/2 to 2 times his normal calories to help him fight the
cancer. You may need to increase the amount you assist feed
And yes, some kitties get pretty sick in the beginning of treatment
because the cancer isn't going to just lay down and die but once the
cancer cells start dying off and they go into remission if the treatment
works, you would never know they had ever been sick.

One thing you should know, large cell is very aggressive and needs to be

I joined this group several months ago, and as sad as this is, all the FeLV+
with lymphoma die in a short period of time. My little Buddy Cat was just

weeks old 9/09 and was very sickly. He recouped real quick.
Stacy & Spanky
Stay firm in your positive thoughts, making the best of all options. Your
love will see you through!
Long life and happiness to you both.

Stacy,
I don't know if you already are on the feline lymphoma list but if you
aren't i would suggest it, it is a wonderful list for support and

I lost my Romeo to lymphoma last year. For him, there weren't too many
options. I had brought him in as an adult stray who I'd been feeding
outside for a couple of years and though he had several wonderful years
inside, he would absolutely freak if you tried to pick him up or hold him
down in any
