Thank you so much for your prayers.
Bobbie is much worse than we thought she was.
All of her ailments are being treated, and she is seeing the vet as much and as often she needs to.
We will spare no expense on the path to her recovery. She is only 9 years old, much too young to
die, let alone have all these illnesses. And she is the sweetest little kitty I could ever ask for.
I hope that I’m on the mend too. My chemo sessions will end in December, but I will have to keep
taking an estrogen suppressor for five years, according to my oncologist. A bit much IMO.
After all, once my cancer gene is eliminated, how can I relapse?
You and your family and cats are always in my prayers.
I don’t know how a cancer gene can come back if it’s eliminated. I think maybe the odds would be a trillion to one?
I’m sure the doctor knows best. I thought the chemo was over this month. I’m so sorry it’s on til December. .
As for Bobbie, I’ll send good thoughts to her and prayers. You know how much I love cats and I don’t want to see them suffer or to see you hurt either.
Ceiling Caf, look after Bobbie and The Old Lady.
Someone has not explained things correctly to you. It is not possible to eliminate a cancer gene. Your genes, both good and bad, and even "junk" DNA, make up the road map of what you are.
It's the path you followed to get to be the person you are. That can't change, and it isn't the same, even for identical twins.
What your medical treatment can do is reduce or eliminate material inside you which is affected by chemicals triggered by such things as "cancer genes". That is the reason for the supplemental estrogen suppressor therapy. Estrogen is an agent for powerful change. It's one of the primary human sex hormones which divides us into male and female, and initiates the changes on the outside to make what we are apparent to others.
That's power, baby!
An' what a gift 'e gie us; to be the self as others see us!
So if this powerful agent is suppressed, the tissues most affected by its power will be able to shrug off the effects which might otherwise tilt them over into unbalance, and put your health at risk.
So even after your chemo treatments are over, your supplemental medication will have to be continued.
But cheer up! If the course of treatment is to be continued for five years, that's sorta their cute way of saying you'll probably live at least that much longer!
