Thanks.
Yeah, I think it was right not to go through with the treatment, it would only have added months to her life and theyd be stressful ones having to go to actually get the treatment.
She is totally back to her normal self now and is sprawled out across half of my desk enjoying the sun, I can see from how shes lying that shes no longer in any pain at all and she had a massive tea last night (she even stole some of Rosas) which had worried me a little but she seems totally fine. Seeing her now, you'd never know there was anything wrong with her haha, which is really really nice. For the first couple days I really wasn't sure whether it was fair to have not had her put down, but today I can see it was definitely the right thing to do to keep her around a bit longer. She looks so happy.

I wonder smilesbetter....given your interest in alternative medicine (me too!) are you aware of Red clover and it's use in cancer treatment for dogs and cats? I have never used it personally but have read some interesting articles on it's use for shrinking tumours in animals - might be worth researching at least? Have you access to a homeopathic vet in Berlin at all?

gypsy never heard of it but my vet is quite into natural remedies so I'll ask them about it. How is it given? Like is it homeopathy, just my man HATES homeopathy haha!

I'll give them a call tomorrow and see if they know anything about it. Seems like the kind of thing my vet would be into though and I've looked a bit online, definitely willing to give it a try if its okay for cats and won't cause her any harm.
