Ever wonder what a cat would look like lounging around the house with no pants?
Trinity went back to the uberVet this week. She was supposed to have another laptop worth of surgery to remove yet another tumor on her hip (you can kinda see it, right at the top of the old scar). They had her all sedated and clipped - obviously - when the guy called me and said that he didn't think he would be able to get the whole thing.
Not removing the whole tumor means that we're basically only buying three months or so. Her prognosis without the surgery at all is something inside a year. So under these circumstances it would have meant extending that to something inside of 15 months. The rub is that this surgery would have taken her leg. Under the circumstances I think 12 months with both legs is better than 15 months with one leg.
Maybe we'll get lucky and she'll just grow old with a tumor. It could happen.

You know I read this post a couple days ago and never got around to responding. Thanks for the Trinity update. For what it's worth I wholeheartedly support you on the quality of life issue. She's a gorgeous girl who has a great life with people who love her. On a side note, I'm wondering if she's cuddling in the blankets more now that she has no fur on her hindquarters? In the photo she seems rather nonplussed. Good for her!
