Klyban sharpening his claws
May 24, 2019, we took Klyban to the veterinary oncologist for his third chemo treatment. We’re keeping a close watch on our kitty. So far, he’s tolerating the chemo meds. They haven’t given him any side effects.
Again, I ask all animal lovers to pray that Klyban undergoes a complete cancer remission. Thank you for your prayers!
We call Klyban our baby kitty because he has a cute meow that he uses when he wants something, and it’s usually food.
Last year, we took Klyban to see his regular veterinarian because he was vomiting more often than usual. The doctor put him on a prescription diet that calmed down his vomiting; he also warned us that if we noticed Klyban was vomiting more often, we should have him rechecked. Apparently cats should vomit once or twice a month. More than that indicates a serious condition.
Klyban was doing very well until a few weeks before May 6, 2019. May 4th and 5th he was vomiting several times a day. So, we took him Monday for a checkup as soon as our clinic opened. The veterinarian examined him, discovered fluid around his lungs, and recommended that he should be taken to the emergency clinic on the south side.
May 6, 2019 we put him in the pet carrier and rushed to the emergency clinic. After many tests, the emergency doctor recommended that an oncologist should see him. More tests were performed.
Eventually, we learned that Klyban has lymphoma. The tumors are concentrated around his intestine. Surgery was not recommended because lymphoma spreads throughout the body. Chemotherapy was the best option. Klyban will undergo 25 weeks of chemotherapy.
Please pray, along with us, that he has a complete remission. We love Klyban and his brother, Marty. They love and care for each other as shown in the following picture.
May 7, 2018. Monday, we took Twister to see a veterinary oncologist at the emergency veterinary clinic on the south side of Fort Worth. After a thorough examination, the oncologist recommended a biopsy which would take place the following day.
Monday afternoon, I had an appointment scheduled with my massage therapist, and I almost didn’t go. Physically and emotionally, I felt lousy, but I went anyway. And I’m glad that I did. My massage therapist is a wonderful lady who not only listens to me, but also gives me an excellent massage. Worried about Twister I told her what had happened to him. I cried, but she comforted me ( she has a dog too) which helped me a lot.
That evening in of spite the fabulous massage, the fibromyalgia pain intensified. I suppose worrying about Twister’s surgery didn’t help me relax or calm down my pain. When I went to bed that evening, I couldn’t fall asleep. So, I spent most of the night praying for Twister, my husband, friends, and relatives. In addition, I occupied my mind thinking about storylines for horror short stories. I recorded the plots on my digital recorder and eventually, fell asleep.
