As some of you may have read previously, about three months ago we had to take Daisy, our black & white tuxedo cat to the vet where she had a huge, cancerous lump removed from her. We knew it was an aggressive type of breast cancer and there would be a high possibility it would return at some point.
All had been going so well until this past week when we felt a multitude of bumps inside her tummy and chest area. Last time it was just one bump this time there were several. The past few days her breathing has changed and she started breathing faster than normal.
Today we went to the vet with a sinking feeling that the cancer was back. An x-ray confirmed our worst fear, it was cancer and it had come back full force. The doctor said its like taking a dandelion and blowing it in the wind. The seeds scatter and land everywhere. Little Daisy was filled with cancer everywhere in her body, just like dandelion seeds in the grass.
It was too fast, too aggressive and any type of treatment would fail at this point. He said she wasn't in pain but the cancer was sucking the oxygen out of her lungs and she would slowly suffocate. He felt she only had a week or less to live.
We would never want our babies to suffer or drag their death on in a slow, agonizing way. As hard as it was to do, we knew she had to be given peace today. We knew in our heart that the outcome today would most likely be cancer but we didn't expect it to be a life decision today.
She was our lap cat, our deep purrer, and our counter jumping kitty- and we will miss her terribly.
