Default Update on Willi's Biopsy

I had put a note on the board Saturday about my beloved tuxedo black/white
10-year old indoor cat Willi had been found with a almost golf ball size tumor
bulging from his neck. Today he went in for the biopsy. The vet determined he
could not remove the entire boney mass as it wrapped around his juggular vein
some and other life important areas. He took a portion out and said it will go
the lab for the pathology report and I will know within 3-5 days the result.
Willi is home resting now by my side as I type this.

What I am not sure is - if it is just a cyst - would there have to be an
invasive surgery to try and remove the portion by his jugular? I asked the vet
this and said he could not respond to that question until he got the pathology
report.

Keep my buddy Willi in your thoughts and prayers. It's too soon for me to lose
him. He has given me 10 years of joy.

I'll keep you both in my thoughts.I hope it is not a sarcoma, which is what
my cat died of in February.

Best of luck to you.. and if perchance it is that time, may the time you
have left be as comforting for both of you as is possible.
