I don't know what else she thinks it could be. No one has said that
there is "definitely a mass". They keep saying things like, I think I
felt a mass, that could be a mass on the xray, but not, Yep, that's a
mass all right! I think she's prescribing the steroid shots because I
asked her to. Her recommendation was to pts. No one's mentioned
anything about asthma. I hate this. I have this terrible feeling that
the clock is ticking and I'm not doing whatever it is I should be doing
to miraculously save his life. I know we all feel like this when we're
in this situation. Intellectually being aware that it's normal to feel
this way, however, does not make the feeling go away!
You're right, I'm frustrated,

I do not think it is a good idea to stop the dex if it is making him
feel better. If there is a mass, what else does she think it could
be? Felv+ cats get lymphoma so much, I would think that if there is
obviously cancer it should be fine to assume it is lymphoma. It does
not seem, to me, that she thinks it could be pneumonia, or she would
not be giving steroids. A heart condition would not respond to
steroids either. Only asthma or lymphoma would respond to steroids
like this. Does she think it could be asthma?
That is really frustrating.
