Feline Mammary Cancer

[CaseyJ]

Hello everyone!
My name is Casey. I am new to this forum, but not new to Dr. Jeff. I have known him for over 20 years, as he used to treat my Mom's and sister's pugs from ca. 1997 - 2012.
I have two cats: a boy, Stony (age 10/11) and a girl, Star (also 10/11). Adopted from a shelter about 7 years ago at approx. age 3-4.
Star had Stomatitis, so as soon as I adopted her I took her to a specialist and had all of her teeth removed. She has been Stomatitis free since then.
About 2 weeks ago, when rubbing her belly, I noticed a lump around one of Star's teets. And next to it, another mass that felt like a knot or a chain going from the teet toward her underarm area. She had surgery to remove the masses yesterday. We won't have biopsy results for another week or so, but the vet strongly suspects that it is mammary cancer. If the results come back that the masses were malignant, the vet recommends an immediate double mastectomy. That is a major surgery on a cat. And I do not feel comfortable chopping up my girl like that. So I immediately reached out to Dr. Jeff for alternative approaches to treating the mammary cancer. I look forward to hearing from anyone else with experience with feline mammary cancer and learning from Dr. Jeff and all of his supporters!
Thank you
Casey & Star

It's wonderful to see you posting here Casey!

Stony and Star are adorable. Are they brother and sister?

As we discussed during your member call on Friday, you don't need to wait to start treating Star.

You can start upgrading her diet to more fresh food, promoting purring, sniffing and using other actions that increase cellular energy right away.

IMHO your HMDM (Holistic Medical Decision Making) goal at this stage is total resolution of the hypothesized (by homeopaths) underlying energetic imbalance in the first place.

The biopsy result will provide important context for how actively you pursue balance. For example, do you need to work with a vet specialist, a homeopath, etc.

Please let us know what the biopsy shows. You can also add it on the forum as an attachment when you get it back this week.

Thank you Dr. Jeff! I have commenced treatment with Star per your suggestions in our phone call
Stony and Star are not brother and sister. I just have a thing for grey cats... LOL
I adopted Stony in Dec. 2012 and Star in Mar. 2013. When I met Star, I saw she had an outgoing and loving personality and I just knew she would be a good fit for Stony, who was very clingy with me and lacked confidence when I first got him. They hit it off immediately and can be found snuggling together about 90% of the day I will definitely keep you updated on Star's condition! Casey

You're welcome Casey.

Thanks again for the adorable pics and for keeping us updated.

BTW-I'd love to see more pictures of Stony and Star together. You could even make a photo album on the forum:

How to create an album in Media Gallery and upload pictures and videos

Start by clicking on Media in the navigation bar. Then click the Add Media button on the far right: Next, select Create Personal Album (you can have more than one of these if you wish, maybe one for each pet): Give the album a name and then click Upload file: Then locate the media file...

here are Star's biopsy results... thanks again Dr. Jeff!

 

[Dr. Jeff]

Wow! That was fast Casey.✈

Thanks for sharing this useful info.

The good news is a relatively low mitotic index and complete excision.

As we discussed, keep focusing on promoting happiness, having fun with her (will she play any games?), purring and daily hands on healing sessions by giving her massages at least once/day.

Daily Reiki meditations with her would also be awe-some.

You can start right away by watching the webinar with Kathleen Prasad.

Hi Dr Jeff
I can't find the blueberry-kale smoothie recipe... can you please show me where to find it?
Thank you!

 

[Dr. Jeff]

Organic kale and wild blueberry smoothie

Hi everyone- Amelia just asked about diet recommendations for her pet with cancer, and I advised the 1:1 kale + wild blueberry antioxidant blend. It's been mentioned on this forum before, but here's exactly how to make it for cancer, arthritis, allergy and other general diet support: Steam or...
