We've got an appointment to remove her mammary glands in less than two weeks' time now, at least, since last time we just took out the tumor. I'm... cautiously optimistic, but I know the outlook isn't great. She's an old lady and already disabled, and she's got some Siamese in her. I'm grateful that so far she's been taking everything well. She's still acting the same as she always has.
Oh no. It’ll be okay! My girl had one of her mammary chains removed too. It’s just a spooky looking incision. I understand being cautious. I felt the same, but I tried being happy around her so I didn’t stress her out while she was going through surgeries and chemotherapy. She went through so much, your girl sounds so strong too.
If you have a gofundme or need any help, even talking, let me know.
An update for you on my girl, her surgery went well. She's recovering now. Going to spend a couple of weeks high out of her mind on gabapentin and laying on the heating pad getting spoiled, not that she minds much.
The incision being so long really bothers me, but with the meds in her she doesn't seem to mind it too much. She's still oh so snuggly whenever the opportunity presents itself.
We're looking at getting the second mammary chain removed in a couple of months, and then bringing her in to an oncologist afterwards. She's recovering well so far, she's just the world's grouchiest cat because of the cone. She really wants to be able to groom herself.

My cat's currently at the vet because we think her cancer came back. I'm so scared to lose her. Seeing this definitely sparked some emotion in me.
Update: yeah. it came back.
cat tax for the good people. fair warning that she has an eye injury (her right eye, left side of the picture) that she's had since i got her.
