I hate to relay bad news but I wanted to follow-up about Sam. The news was not good from the vet. He does have cancer and they predict he has 3-6 months to live. They feel that it was found early but this is a cancer that is inoperable and obviously fast moving. We will know more next week when they do a more thorough exam and xray. Right now they want his hog incision to heal.
To see and be around Sam you would never know he has a thing wrong. He is as active as ever but he does get a little short of breath. The tumor is pressing on the area around his esophagus I think.
We are sad but are celebrating and enjoying the time we have with him now. Sam has a sordid past. He has been through a lot - I think he is part cat because he has had "nine lives".... We will consider him a blessing every day we have him but will not allow him to suffer if pain takes over his daily life.
