Oh god Michelle I can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling at the moment hun.  I will be saying a prayer for your both tonight that the results come back negative.

Stay positive hun and give Issey a big hug from me.  Foxy and Zephyr and Rossi are all sending special kitty vibes to Issey as well.

As for you  :hug: :hug: :hug: (3 little hugs = 1 BIG hug love)

Fingers and toes crossed for a neg result hun.

Are they doing an in-house or Glasgow FIV test?

 :hug:

She had an FIV/FeLV test in April 2005 which was negative so fingers crossed this is negative too.

No its not an in-house test, its being sent to a Lab somewhere in London (which is connected with Glasgow)

OK good, at least you can rely on an accurate result  :hug:

The Lymphoma Issey has is very rare in cats. This is actually the 1st case of it my vet has seen
This type of Lymphoma she has is more likely to be associated with FIV in middle-aged cats but apparently spontaneous non viral associated lymphoma also freguently encountered in her age group too !

So,
She has had an FIV/FeLV test done today and sent off (next day answer)
If it comes back positive for FIV there is no more we can do as she wouldn't be able to have Chemo

If its negative (please God) then the next step will be to do xrays and a scan to see how many more Lymph nodes are effected.
We need to know how far round the body the Lymphoma has travelled....
Then if possible we can start Chemo

So its a waiting game again till the FIV results come back tomorrow  :(

Just spoke to the VN and her results are back....
We had quiet a laugh as neither of us could really understand all the rather large words but
She does have Lymphoma and its T cell. (well i think thats what she said)

Seeing vet at 4pm anyway so told VN to tell him not to ring me before as i will speak to him then

awwww, I think she's just taking advantage of having places to snuggle, it was a bit nippy yesterday compared to the weather last week.

Probably just having a lazy day  :Luv2:

She looks as if she is enjoying her snuggle and it was very cold today, hopefully she is just taking advantage of an extra  snuggle and to catch up on some sleep :hug: :hug:

She just hasnt done anything today, which isnt like her.....just wants to sleep on my lap or cuddled up in my dressing gown.
We are back to vets Wednesday for stitches to be removed and hopefully the other results might be back tomorrow. I am scared that she is going down hill quickly...but hoping that maybe she is just tired today
