Hello everyone, This is Tammy, I haven't been here for a while, but I know I can always turn to you for support. I don't know if I'll even make it through this message, so please forgive any grammatic errors. My situation is as follows: Jake was 3 years old Feb. 1995 and was found to have a adrenal tumor. I found Dr. Weiss (Potomac Animal Hospital, MD) who did a wonderful job removing the tumor, it was on the right and was attached to his liver and major artery. Jake recovered very quickly and proceeded to be a happy loveable ferrt for another year. The tumor was found to be malignant. June 1996 we found another large tumor in Jake's abdomen, Dr. Weiss did another great job removing a malignant liver tumor. Ok here's my problem, over the weekend I noticed a large lump on Jake's neck back by his ear. My biggest fear- The cancer has spread. I fear that Jake will be leaving me soon. He and Ozzy were my first fuzzies. I would love to discuss this with others that have already been through it. I have put in a call to Dr. Weiss and waiting to hear back at this moment. He is a very knowledgable vet in the ferret area, I know we will discuss all the possibilities and options on caring for Jake, but I would still like to hear from others that have already experienced this as a surrogate parent to a fuzzy child. I would like responses through e-mail directly is possible for I cannot check the mailing-list regularly. Thank you all for being here. Please give all your fuzzies hugs today, Tammy and company Jake, Ozzy, Zak, Randy, Samantha and Sunshine :) [Posted in FML issue 1646]
