Oh, lovely, lovely.

Am just as glad I'm not bothering with the office today. (Nobody's there, one guy's on a business trip and one's at a funeral, so I'm working from home until it's time for school). Guess I escape the worst of it today. Unless someone pulls a prank at school.

Well...just talked to the vet. Got the news I kind of expected - it was indeed a mammary carcinoma, and the chances that they got absolutely every trace of cancer are pretty slim. The vet said that the last cat that he'd seen this in was also an older Siamese, and though they did additional surgeries to buy her more time, she didn't live a whole lot longer after the first diagnosis. I'm going to discuss it with him in more depth when she goes back to have the sutures removed...but I'm thinking most likely we're looking at a year or a little more, unless we're lucky. I'm just not willing to put her through too much more in the way of painful treatments, and if the cancer spreads to any other part of her body and she isn't feeling good any more...that will be the end.

But until then, I can spoil her and just hope for the best. *snif*
