She is in the terminal phase.
She had a masectomy, but the tumors came back at the same place - no spreading otherwere. She is at the vet right now, one of her tumor has a running abscess. Patricia "Phil P." wrote in message ... "Patricia" wrote in message om... She has breast cancer and an infectuous abscess. Your cat needs to be seen by vet *immediately*. Mammary gland tumors *must* be removed *ASAP* because they have a high rate of metastasis to other organs. You should remove all four glands of the affected chain (radical mastectomy). Please do not delay treatment another moment.

"Patricia" wrote in message om... She is in the terminal phase. I'm very sorry to hear that. She had a masectomy, but the tumors came back at the same place - no spreading otherwere. She's very lucky - 70%-80% of cats with MGTs have metastases to several organs. If there's no evidence of metastasis, I would seriously consider another surgery. Did your vet remove all four glands on the affected chain as well as the inguinal lymph node during the first surgery? The most important prognostic factor that affects recurrence and survival times is the size of the tumor. MGT is one of reasons why I recommend three or ideally, quarterly vet exams for older cats - especially females. Early diagnosis and treatment can mean the difference between surviving 3-4 months or 3-4 years after detection. Best of luck, Phil
