bad news, Emperor's cancer has spread and it's inoperable.
We have bad news, his cancer has spread and it's inoperable.
They only give hin 2 or 3 weeks to live.Maybe a month at best.
The vet has giving us some pain meds for Emperor and we have brought him home to die. This is really tough to even type this.
The vet took out as much of the tumor from Emperor's mouth as they could and they saw that the cancer was at the base of his tongue.
He never ate anything the whole weekend and he was drooling something once every half hour or so. We gave him a little food with his pain medication and some water through a syringe.
My wife and I talked to our friend who is realy knowledgable about cats and she told us that if he can't eat or drink that he would die of starvation before the cancer would kill him.
As many of you already know, My wife is a cancer survivor and is unable to have children. Emperor is our surrogate child,thats the only way to explain it.
I'm afraid that we will have to put him to sleep,we can't stand for him to suffer like this.Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you so much.
Update: The animal clinic called me here at work and asked how he was doing? I told them everything and they said just bring him in tomorrow or Wednesday and they would give him another pain shot. They also told me that it's not surprizing that he has'nt ate much, after all they did cut that out of his mouth.
