While I am very happy
that I know what it is exactly that we are up against I am really depressed to
know what we are up against. I will have more to say about it later, right now
I need to regroup and try to stop crying long enough to think straight.
Option 1: Surgery that
includes tail amputation costs $4,000-5,000 (this is the best option as it
could possibly cure her)
Option 2: Surgery to
remove most of the tumor but leaves the tail costs $3,500-4,500 (this could
leave some cancer behind and it has a 50/50 chance of recurring. If it recurs,
no other surgical options will be available after this procedure. Not an option
I like but it is better than #3.)
Option 3: Just steroids
and chemo, over time they could cost just as much, if not more, than option 1
and is a horrible choice. The drugs might slow things down but over time this
tumor will become severely problematic and make her seriously ill until it
kills her.
We don't have a lot of
time, doing nothing will probably see her so sick I have to put her down in
less than 6 months. I have no idea what I am going to do. I am so bummed out
but at least I know what I am facing, no more wondering and waiting to be
informed. I don't want to
let myself get too down, but this is a total mess.
