Sorry it’s been so long, but we’re still here and she’s doing great! I mean, she’s 16 years old, a tripawd, is partially blind and may or may not be deaf (she’s a cat, it’s anyone’s guess), but she’s doing great despite those things.
The meds were NOT popular. After a few doses, she started puking them up instantly and it created some pretty spectacular neon orange vomit stains. Since our oncologist wasn’t sure the meds would even be effective, she said to stop giving them to her all together. The plan is now just to monitor her every 6-8 weeks and bring her back if we notice any new lumps in the interim.
Part of what has made this process so difficult is there are a lot of unknowns between the super rare disease, and then with the cat who seems to present differently than anyone expects. The cats that have been studied with lymphangiosarcoma lived about 6 months, but here we are almost 6 months post amputation, and almost 8 months since we noticed the cancer lump.
Most days are good days and I hope it stays that way for a while.
