Loosing Another Furbaby...., Liver Cancer Options

[karen424]

It's been 15 months since I first turned to this website for support after loosing my precious Buster.....now I am totally heartbroken to say that my kitty Max has just been diagnosed with Liver Cancer. He also has Chronic Renal Failure and has been on subq fluids for 16 months. I was sure that one day the kidney failure would take him but to find out that this little trooper of a kitty now has to suffer with liver cancer is just way too much to comprehend. I've read so many of your posts on here and I know so many of you are feeling what I am feeling right now. Right now I feel like I can't move and all I want to do is stay by Max's side. How can I carry on with my day to day activities just watching for the day when he starts to decline?? I want to give his last month, weeks, days, whatever he has left, nothing buy love and to spoil him to no end but I'm having a hard time just functioning. I know it's shock - it has to be that. I definitely don't want to go to work and have to leave him for 10 hours. I am fortunate that my husband can check in on him throughout that day though..

Thank you - all of you who have taken the time to read this. My heart goes out to all of you too for I know I'm not alone on here...

God Bless you all.....

Karen,

Thank you for the kind thoughts for me and my precious angels that are waiting for me at rainbow bridge and I am so sorry that you are having a hard time with this, as would I. If you ever need to talk my email address is as follows: louneedham@yahoo.com, also I tend to be online with yahoo messenger, (id) louneedham and if you what to chat I would be more than willing to talk, as it can make it easier to share your heartaches with someone that does understand. I have been lucky that my husband understands my love for my fur babies and supports me as much as possible even to the point that he allows me to rescue more fur babies after we had loss both Jacob & Smokey, even though he was not ready yet.

Again if you ever just want to talk, please feel free to drop me a line. Try and enjoy the time that you have left with your precious baby Max and remember that no matter what happens, both Buster and Max will be with you forever in your heart and that one day you will all meet up once again. All I know is I will have a ton of fur babies waiting for me, as I could never imagine my life without the precious fur children that the Lord has been so good to let come into my life.

May the Lord bless you and your precious fur babies.
