It's my 11th Birthday today! Back in February 2016 we never imagined I would make it to 11!
The veterinary specialists now think I might have been misdiagnosed - I might have small cell lymphoma instead of large cell (which is a possibility since I was diagnosed via several small needle aspirates). Small cell has a much better prognosis and would be more likely to go into remission, which is likely where I am!
My stools are soft all the time, and there is the occasional bit of blood or mucus in them, but otherwise I act perfectly normal. There are some days where I can't jump up from the floor to the bathroom sink, but other days when I can.
I'm just happy to be here, with my dad, my mom, and my siblings. Thank you all for your purrs, prayers, and positive thoughts!
