Hi,
My fourteen year old Siamese has undergone biweekly chemotherapy for nasal
lymphoma since June. In the beginning, she seemed to bounce back after
treatment: the positive effects now seem to become increasingly short
lived.

I decided to forgo radiation treatment because the side-effects (chronic
sinusitus, conjunctivitus, corneal damage) seemed horrific.

At this point, her appetite remains good and she responds affectionately
to
petting and brushing. She has chronic discharge (occasionally bloody)
from
her left nostril and eye.
Her upper palate is inflamed. She occasionally has painful reactions to
chewing and swallowing food.

I would appreciate hearing from anybody with experience or advice
regarding
pallitive care and when/how to let her go.
Thanks.


You know your girl better than anyone, I imagine. What does the vet say
about her prognosis? From your post it seems your kitty's condition is
terminal?
