dani_meowsSo we went to the vet on Wednesday to discuss Jasper's whole health with our primary vet. We trust him a lot because he's been our vet for 13 plus years now.
Our vet said that with Jasper's kidney disease (early stage 1) he wouldn't recommend going to an oncologist for treatments as both radiation and chemo may put to much strain on our boys kidneys.
He sent an email to our optometrist who did Jasper's surgery about the risks of going in again to try and remove the additional melanoma cells. And got back to us that day recommending the surgery to hopefully be able to remove the additional melanoma.
Apparently diffuse iris melanoma doesn't grow back often and it's risk of moving elsewhere is also low.
So next Thursday, Jasper goes back in for surgery.
Hopefully they can save him.
I want to have hope. I'm never ready to say goodbye to my cats. And I want Jasper to live as long as he can. To beat kidney disease and Cancer for as long as possible.
At the vet's office I also got to meet a five week old kitten, that our vet rescued! Omg she was the tiniest little thing.
Jasper than bit me in jealousy! I have my hands full with Jasper, Boo, Bitsy and Nori though!
