Well, I got home from work today to a message on my machine. Apparently Anakin had (forgive me if I spell this wrong, I copied it from the message on the machine) 'lymphoblastic lymphosarcoma'. She said that the reason his live and spleen had appeared normal was because the cells had been totally replaced by the cancer cells and that by then, there was nothing that could have been done about it. The only thing I recall reading on this cancer is that it is one of the more particularly nasty ones. I don't remember where I read it of when, etc. but that is all I can recall on it. What do you guys know on it? Anything? I don't think he was suffering because it was pretty much one of the typical ferret deaths where they're playing and all up until the very end. There were only a few days where he'd slowed down, but he was still himself until that afternoon... ~Tammy - a.k.a. Kesrael "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wonder are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be the blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." "May it be you journey on To light the day; When the night is overcome You may rise to find the sun" [Posted in FML issue 5022]
