Update on Willi's Biopsy

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.

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.

Good thoughts and prayers to Willi and you, Magnus. Even if it is something
bad, there are often treatments that will extend their quality of life. Cats
often respond well to chemo and generally don't get sick. Of course, it
depends on the personality of your cat if it would bother him to go to the vet
fairly often--at least in the beginning--to get chemo. A cat who is very
fearful might not be a good candidate for that. But, of course, I hope it's
minor...I just wanted you to know that it's not hopeless if the news is not
good.
