I took Duffy to see TED for an evaluation on Monday. Everything looks
good except that he needed to have a cyst removed from his shoulder. I
had the cyst examined in January. At that time, I was told to keep an
eye on it and return to the veterinary clinic if it grew in size. It
did grow, so we returned this week. I had a long discussion with the
vet an agreed that there was no need to send the cyst to pathology. I
agreed with the doctor that we would not want to undertake extreme care
at his age even if it is malignant, and the vet is of the opinion that
there actually is very little likelihood off cancer. Please send purrs
that this is true. I lost my beautiful Holly to cancer at the same age
(18.5). TED did tell me that overall he is in remarkable condition for
that age. He seems to feel well, and he is still a little gymnast who
hops into my lap at every opportunity.

Purrs on the way for the cyst to be benign. Duffy is indeed a wonderful
cat.
