    Good morning,

    Yesterday's condo

    Yesterday
    AMPS=169 (0.5u); +2.5=191; +7=189; +9.5=198
    PMPS=202 (0.5u); +2=230; +4.5=256; +11=259

    Today
    AMPS=239 (skip - U/S)
    PMPS=272 (0.5u); +2.5=301

    Today is the ultrasound day.
    It's 7:30am now, and the u/s will be done around noon.
    I will leave in about 3 hours, so they can shave her tummy before the radiologist comes in.
    Lucy can't eat until we come home, and of course she wanted to eat this morning.
    Lucy, why can't today be one of those days I open 5 different cans and you want none of them?
    She has already given up asking, and is now sleeping.
    I gave her a shot of Cerenia, so she won't get car-sick, hopefully.

    I thought about shooting BCS, maybe 0.25u and even filled a syringe, but ended up skipping.
    I hope she won't go pink later today.

    Last night, she had a big diarrhea and sat on it, so I had to give her a bumbath, after almost 3 days of no bumbath.
    She was upset, but maybe she wanted to get her bum cleaned for the u/s, so we won't get embarrassed.

    I am calm and will stay calm. I am calm and will stay calm. I am calm and will stay calm.

    We are back.
    Lucy has cancer in her pancreas and liver, and maybe spread into her heart too.
    I expected bad news, but this is worse than I expected.
    I guess there is no point trying to see a specialist now.
    The radiologist was amazed how loudly she can still complain.
    That's my girl.

    I was doing so good staying calm at first, but everyone at the clinic was kind and hugged me, so I couldn't hold my tears.

    I have kept the Sunday appointment with my regular vet since she's off today, but I won't take Lucy with me.
    I will discuss with her how I can keep her as comfortable as possible until it's time.

    She ate some Wellness Turkey&Salmon when we got home.

    Mariko,

    Hello, I have been following your and Lucy`s condo`s. I am so sorry to see this news about Lucy. I was so hoping it would be better news. I had a cat named Ally several years ago with a lung tumor. She was diagnosed in January, I chose not to do any chemo or radiation as they said it most likely would not do any good.
    I made her comfortable and just let her play and be herself and I had her until June. I ask the vet how will I know when its time to let her go? The vet said when she stops eating and drinking.
    So I hope you still have many good days left with Lucy and I will be sending prayers along for both of you.

    Terri

    Thank you all so very much for your love and compassion.
    I live alone and by myself dealing with this (except of course Lucy and Ginger), so your posts mean so much to me.
    They help me stay strong.

    Lucy ate almost 1/2 of dinner portion this evening.
    Tonight, her preferred flavor is Wellness Chicken.
    She's eating only a little bit at a time, but she's doing her best, I know.

    I have only 3 more capsules of Tylan (a/b) left, and I was going to finish them, but I didn't have the heart to pill her today.
    I think she's got enough torture for one day already at the vet - belly shave and ultrasound.
    She was purry for a while this afternoon, but seems tired this evening.
    She seems tired but relaxed, so I decided not to upset her by pilling.
    It probably doesn't matter now if I finish the Tylan since her diarrhea isn't caused by bacteria....... I don't know.
    I may just not bother with the remaining three capsules.

All you can do is continue to make things comfortable for Lucy, and she will tell you it's time. Spend as much time with her as you can each and every day. Enjoy her as much as you can.
