Your support over the past two months has been amazing. Now, I’m asking for your support one more time.
Help fund research into better, more effective treatments for feline lymphoma. Besides being the miserable disease that took sweet Petey, feline lymphoma is one of the most commonly occurring cancer in cats. In fact, lymphoma is more prevalent in cats than in humans or dogs. Learn more about the disease here or here.
Sadly, most of the treatments available are extrapolated from research studies into lymphoma in dogs. And cats are not dogs.

Remember to ask yourself every day: What Would Petey Do?
(Hint: The answer will usually involve napping, sunshine, mayhem or bacon)
What a wonderful way to honor Petey. We have noticed the number of cats with lymphoma, but didn’t know it was more prevelent in cats than in dogs or people.
We are so sorry about Petey…
Our Ernie died from lymphoma last August. We really miss him.

I found your site from search engines. Great site.
Minnie and I are just beginning the journey with feline lymphoma (GI). An initial dose of Chlorambucil followed the next week with Vincristine (the COP ) protocol and resulted in 100% reduction of her abdominal tumor. She gets daily Prednisolone. We are now switching to the CCNU protocol for the rest of the ride. Minnie is also FIV positive. She is only 8 years old, a tiny little fighter with a sweet temperament adn thankfully a great appetite as she has lost 1/3 of her body weight at the outset. Your blog of Petey’s journey and yours with him is very helpful to me to read at this time. Thank you for telling your heartfelt story.
Darla: Best of luck to you and Miss Minnie. Please give her an ear scratch from me. Keep fighting!
I loved your article it has great information. I think you and your readers might be interested in another article I found, about cats and dry eyes.
