We have a Maine Coon cat who is about 10 years old.  About two years ago we 
took him to the veterinarian for some immunizations for rabies and feline 
leukemia.  This fall we noticed a hard lump on his side about 2 inches in 
diameter.  A veterinarian from another state told us that if it was hard, it 
was probably cancerous, and asked if that was the spot where the immunizations 
were given.  He said this can happen and not show up for months or even a year 
afterwards.  We started giving him a little silver in his water every day and 
in the first week, we noticed his coat was nicer and his eyes were brighter, 
but couldn't tell any difference in the lump.  After a couple weeks, we 
"thought" the lump seemed softer, but weren't sure.  Then after another month, 
we were sure it was smaller.  Now, after 2 months, the lump is down to about 1 
1/2 inches and softer even though we haven't been real faithful in putting the 
silver in his water.  The other day I even saw him run up the stairs!  He
 hasn't done that in a long time. I wonder how much faster it would work if we 
gave a shot right in the lump....
Another question or request .... I take the digest form of the list, and 
sometimes it seems like there's a ton of extra gobbledy gook in it and some 
messages are repeated 3 or 4 times -- sometimes the whole digest is repeated -- 
 I wonder if when we "reply" to a message if we could  delete most of the post 
except for what's needed?  If that's what causes it, it would make it so much 
easier to find and read the messages in the right order.  Thanks everyone.
