Re: Cotton

[Nina]

I don't know Sandy, I don't have any experience with treating lymphoma.  Michelle is our resident expert on that, (unfortunately for Michelle).   I do know that I've stopped listening so gravely to the prognosis' of vets.  Miracles happen every single day and since this is a suspicion and has not been determined, I would fight hard against the urge to give up hope that Cotton is here for a good long while.  Didn't you say that he was acting like the feisty little kitten he is?  What did this vet suggest as your next move?  Is it possible that new xrays/diagnostics  might show something different now that he seems in so much better health?  What did his blood work indicate?  Keep your chin up, we're all pulling for you and Cotton.
