UPDATE on Spooky Cancer survivor
Edited on Tue Mar-17-09 04:32 PM by mikelgb
As some of you know my cat Spooky was diagnosed with cancer at the end of January, he had a rather large tumor right in the middle of his forehead.

Original Thread:

He began Chemo Therapy first week in February

Within two days after treatment began, his tumor was all but completely gone. He has now completed his 6-week induction and his prognosis is very good. We are continuing chemo every t weeks now with vet visits only once a month. And he has been taking and will continue to take prednisolone daily.

Needless to say it has been a miracle for us and we are so happy we can do head-butts and see a healthy kitteh everyday.

Some of you even helped with the costs of treatment and to you I am eternally grateful. I just want to let you know that your donations helped so much (we were able to cover a whole treatment) and you definitely helped save one little kitteh's life.


Me and Spooky

1. Congratulations for the happy ending!
I'm so glad he made it, and it looks as if he's handled the chemo well.
