Ben, my husband and I are praying that the best decision for Dex will become obvious to you, whatever that is. The most difficult decision is deciding that his quality of life...tubes, pills, anything out of the ordinary on a morre than temporary basis, would serve only those who will be left behind. God bless you and your family as you wrestle with this difficult decision. Dexter....we love you. Please..let your beloved Daddy look in your eyes and tell him what you need. Sara

In the past three days, Dex has suffered facial and paw swelling and has started having difficulty breathing. Today has been bad and he is now receiving oxygen at the Dallas emergency vet clinic. X-rays show that he has lymph node involvement in every area and his liver and spleen are enlarged and have move out of the proper body cavity. This puts him in, I think, stage 4 of lymphosarcoma. He is whimpering and obviously in pain. We don't want to give up and we are willing to do chemo for him. We want to do what's best for Dexter, but it is so hard to make that final decision. Is it time for his suffering to be over? Does he have a chance? _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
