Wow. I didn't know there were so many treatments out there for sick cats. I hear they can be pretty expensive. My landlord's been taking Jerry to the vet about twice a month for digestive reasons. He's not even 10. (I live vicariously though other car owners cause hubby is allergic to cats and we can't have any.)

Oh, yeah.

Our cat has bad allergies and poor hygeine. Any visit to the vet for him ain't cheap.

Well, I know from what one et said, the cortisone treatment is frown upon by most of the medical community because they want to get in, take a biopsy of the tumor and then go to chemo, surgery and/or radiation as the case my be. In cases like lympho-sarcoma, the cortisone does shrink the tumors down to the point to where if they were biospied, they cannot tell of they are benign or malignant. I do believe you do need to keep up the injections though, but the vet said that he had a dog with a brain tumor that was causing him seizures and was generally on his way out to where he started the treatment and the dog lived for an extra 2 or 3 years, sometimes you can get 5 or more. Still it is a bit touch and go, but at least there is hope there but unfortunately too late for Pansy.
