(Minor, but not to me) Good news!

[Strong Atheist]

So I had a thread a while back about my cat, and how he had pancreas cancer.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=4539758

Well I went to the vet yesterday (yes, the same one who found the "cancer" :grr: )

Well they were going to try to do a biopsy guided by ultrasound to make sure it was cancer, and guess what?

The mass was gone...

My cat has been eating better and gaining weight, so they now think it was just an infection that "popped", not cancer after all...

Of course, Rhiannon12866 's tea might have got rid of the cancer (Thank you so much, Rhiannon!), or the vet could be totally incompetent, and have ripped me for over $1000 (that I can't afford...) :grr:

Well, anyway, my cat is getting better! Yay! Thanks to all who sent positive vibes!

11. We know what it is to love a kitty.

CMW and I don't have children, but we've been through some major health problems with Ginger (colitis two years ago, peeing blood due to a urinary tract problem last year, and three months ago he got hurt after picking a fight with a big ol' neighbor cat). I'm so glad your week has brought you and your cat good news. :hug:

[Strong Atheist]

12. Thanks again! Hope Ginger is getting better! nt.

They have seen me through 30+ ferrets and all three cats (in fact Tate was trapped on their horse farm - his brother Chad is one of their barn cats, along with his Mom, Tina and Dad, Ike).

I'm really glad to hear it. :hi:

And change your vet ...

[Strong Atheist]

25. Thanks! I may change my vet. I

HATE change, even more than most males, but this is probably the time for it...

[Misunderestimator]

19. So glad your cat doesn't have cancer.

Sucks about the money, but *whew* on the re-diagnosis.

[Strong Atheist]

26. See your PM, please! Thank you so much...

28. Thank you! nt.

[ThomCat]

27. That is awesome.

That your cat is better, not that the vet is a quack.

I hope you have other choices for vet care in your area.

Please give the kitty a squeeze for all of us.
