My 15 yr old cat was diagnosed in Nov. 02 w/fibrosarcoma. She was operated on Dec. 9, and has done excellent until recently. She is very near the end of her life, and I am trying to keep her happy each day for her to enjoy it to the fullest. She was not expected to make it through the surgery and was given only a couple more months to survive. She is a real fighter. It has been almost 7 months and I have treasured every moment with her. I am very sad to know that the time is almost here for her to go to kitty heaven. I am so glad I had the surgery done in december. I switched veterinarians, and my old vet told me there really wasn't anything that could be done. I just want to let people know that there is hope out there. Each case is different, and the surgery was rather inexpensive ($300.), but worth every penny.
