I got some bad news about Alison my eldest cat

 Alison is my 16 year old cat. Shes my first cat ever and shes a big mama's girl. A few weeks ago I was noticing that Alison my eldest cat was starting to have some old girl issues going on. I thought that it could be hyperthyroidism going on since its common in older cats and I knew she was showing some signs. Well tests came back that she was spilling too much protein and so she was put on a kidney diet, also her bp was a little high to be later determined to be just her being stressed at the vets. But they did rule out hyperthyroidism.

However they noted that her spleen was enlarged. She had that problem last year to and I was trying to save up the money for an ultrasound. Well I decided to bite the bullet and use care credit for the ultrasound. They also noted that she was a little bit anemic. Well we were told that with all the signs that it could ether be irritable bowel syndrome or lymphoma (cancer). 

So the ultrasound was done and tests were done and the final verdict that it was lymphoma. It was affecting her kidneys,spleen, and parts of her colon. There is chemo but I can't afford chemo and with her age I wasn't comfortable of making her go through chemo with the results being unknown on how her body will hold out. 

So the plan is now to have her on new meds and scrap the kidney diet since she hates it. The main goal now is to have her eat and take two new meds and the vet gives her anywhere from 3-6 months (could be more could be less). So I am going to enjoy what time that I have left with Alison and when the time comes I plan to have her euthanized and be right there for her.

I LOVE YOU ALISON.
