My light silver, Argento (born 12/90), deveopled an odd lump on her jaw. After paying visits to two vets (Dr. Blevins and Dr Stahl). Two blood test were normal, x-rays normal. Needle biospy showed "some fluid". The biopsy showed cancer ... Argento is was on antibotics for 10 days after the biospy. She is getting presisone. Dr. Stahl said there were two courses of action: 1) Chemotherpy: involving inveious (sp?) drugs, blood test and more drugs for about a month. 2) continue with predisone Although, I can afford option 1, I am not sure that I want to see this sweet fuzzy go through this procedure. Dr. Stahl said the outcome with either treatment is usually the same. However, he is open to suggestions. Dr. Stahl can be reached at 703-591-3304, FAX 703-591-6936 (no e-mail address). Dr. Williams, you were helpful on my previous post. Can you offer more assistance? Can anyone else offer any suggestions/treatment? I want to prolong Argeno's life but not her suffering .... Nan Argento - not that stuff again, let me go play with Hershey! Hershey - lets play, dook, dook Jett (cat) - they are out! Ruby - ouch! yeah, now you tell me! Genieve - yawn, what is going on! Nome (dog) - woooolf! Sandy (human) - get that fuzzbutt off the remote and where are my socks? [Posted in FML issue 1712]
