Re: Happy New Year to All
Hi Dawn, I am sorry to hear that your Charlie has lymphoma. He is so young (and so cute!). I hope that all your questions get answered while caring for Charlie. The people here are great. A lot of the information here is just good general care information for kitties, such as holistic care, supplements for different symptoms, etc. So if you have any specific questions, please ask. Some of us here don't have FeLV kitties anymore as we have lost them, but stay around to help others like you. And the ones who do have FeLV kitties are a great source of current info. and also great support as they can identify with what you are going through. Happy New Year to you and Charlie and I will keep the two of you in my prayers, :) Wendy __ Yahoo! for Good - Make a difference this year. http://brand.yahoo.com/cybergivingweek2005/
Re: Happy New Year to All
Welcome to the group Dawn! Sorry, you had to find us this way. But with my experience with this group you will find all kinds of information to your questions. My Vets are very Felv/Fiv friendly have stated this group knows more than the average Vet does about these horrible diseases. This is also a very loving group on top of that! By the way I'm north of you in Arlington/Marysville area.

Re: Happy New Year to All
Hello Dawn, Your sweet Charlie is adorable. His picture makes me want to stick my face in his fur and snuggle him! I can only imagine what you are going through. I'm sure you're devastated by his diagnosis. It's so hard, so many of us have been where you are. I don't have experience with lymphoma, so I can't help with specifics of treatment. Michelle Lerner has unfortunately dealt with cancer with many of her animals and has helped give support and great advice with what you two are facing. Why don't you do a search on the archives to benefit from the group's help while you wait for the group to respond to you and Charlie? I know there is a lymphoma group out there, (it's been mentioned on our list), that may be able to help also. I'm sending you, Charlie, and the rest of your family prayers and healing energy to help give you strength through this very difficult time. We do understand. Like you, my fur-companions are my babies, my friends and my soul mates. Give Charlie a kiss and head butt from me, be brave, love him and cherish him, (as I'm sure you do all your babies). Do your best to shake off any premature grieving and BE with him, right now, happy in the moment. After all, the loving moment of right now, is what truly matters. Never forget, miracles do happen, where there is life, there is hope. Much love to you, Nina
Re: Happy New Year to All
Dawn, Charlie is beautiful. I recommend that you also join the feline lymphoma group, which I think is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/feline_lymphoma. They are extremely knowledgeable about lymphoma and chemotherapy. Welcome, Michelle
Re: Happy New Year to All
Hi Dawn Charlie, You can find the lymphoma group here, I am a member have been since my Buddie was diagnosed with liver cancer in July of 2003, I lost her in July 2004. She had a good year and the group was a lifeline at the time. I'm still a member and their Feline Lymphoma Caregivers Guide website, is full of tons of information about many different types of feline cancers and has actual case studies of cats of members. There is info on oncologists, internal specialists, links to help for people who may need financial assistence. Information about different chemo protocols, holistic approaches and treatment options, just lots of stuff. You can find the group here (it's a Yahoo group): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/feline_lymphoma/ And the Feline Lymphoma Caregivers Guide website here: http://felinelymphomacaregivers.org/ By the way, I'm south of you in Sumner :) Prayers for Charlie to achieve a full remission. PS. If you join the group, there is a girl named Stacy whose Samba is currently in remission and he is also FeLV positive, he was diagnosed I believe right after my Buddie so he is doing well. Stacy is in Kansas. -- Belinda Happiness is being owned by cats ...

Re: Happy New Year to All
Oh Belinda that's such encouraging news about Stacy's Samba! That little Charlie has really touched my heart, (not to mention his mom). Thank you so much for posting the detailed info about the lymphoma group. Please everyone, pray for Charlie's good health!
