Journey is a 9-year old domestic short hair cat that was diagnosed in July 2008 with feline Small Cell Gastric Lymphoma. After surgery to remove the a portion of her intestine, the vets at South Towne Veterinary Hospital recommended oral chemotherapy. Journey’s owner Nicole did all she could to pay for the surgery, but the continued cost of chemotherapy and the related checkups was going to be a huge burden on her limited income. Due to the generous support of our donors we were able to donate $500.00 towards Journey’s chemotherapy.
It truly hurts to know that finances play a role in life and death. Without the donation from the Dog and Cat Cancer Fund Journey may have had only a month or two to live with just “comfort care” according to her veterinarian. Journey has met with a cancer specialist and will now be able to undergo chemotherapy. She has had a section of intestine removed and as long as she can tolerate the medications and chemo she is expected to live at least two years and maybe many more!!!! Thank you to all who have been able to donate to this phenomenal organization and for making it possible for Journey and I to have at least two more years together.
Truly Thankful,
Journey & Nicole
