I had to take my cat to the veterinay last week, he did a preliminary exam, and thinks she may have mammal cancer, he says this that type of cancer can be very aggressive, the life expectancy is 1 or 2 years, the cat is about 14 years old and is not really showing any signs of pain or strain, she just has an inflamation, so it's not a sure thing as yet, after she is finished with the antibiotics, he will proceed with more tests, but he gives us no guarantees, and that's understandable, I would like to talk to the doctor about a widely used herb called ANAMU, is very well known in Latin America for cyst and tumors. What do you think?

I would probably be talking surgery myself with my vets, but chances are that I might just say, she's had a good life and I will love her until she's hurting and then I will ease her on.

We definetly have surgery in mind, on the other hand vet and feels that if it's too far gone, surgery will just put her through a lot and may not help her in the long run. So we are waiting and hoping for the best. Thanks.

If herbal ANAMU will give a big help why not try. If not try surgery. I know you will do anything for your cat. And I will do the same thing to save my cat. If there are some ways to help our cats, then you know what you have to do. There's no harm in trying if this will give your cat the solution. Im sorry to hear about your cat. Dont worry, she'll get well soon.

Thanks, I will keep the surgery in mind and will also talk to the doctor about the herbal alternative, it shouldn't hurt. After all miracles do happen.
