My 15yo cat had osteosarcoma in his HL 4 years ago and we amputated. He did very well for an older man. I took him to work as his elbows were quite thickened and I was worried.

&lt;p&gt;You wouldn&amp;#39;t be bothering vetlife, that is what they&amp;#39;re there for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But you could also try &lt;a href="https://www.bluecross.org.uk/pet-bereavement-and-pet-loss"&gt;www.bluecross.org.uk/pet-bereavement-and-pet-loss&lt;/a&gt; they are great, at talking and listening for end of care advise with no judgement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I do think you need to be kinder on yourself, like you said in the earlier paragraph sampling the lesion wouldn&amp;#39;t change what you do and if anything just cause discomfort and agitate the mass. I wouldn&amp;#39;t of sampled it, if it was one my cat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I do feel you should talk things through with someone and as I said above, be kind to yourself! There are people everywhere who can offer help so don&amp;#39;t stay silent!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take care x&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Help with my cats diagnosis</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/178009?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jan 2023 09:09:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:8fac78dc-71e9-42ca-a8b4-411b7224335c</guid><dc:creator>Arlo Guthrie</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;[quote userid="14142" url="~/001/nonclinical/f/problem-pages/32388/help-with-my-cats-diagnosis"]I’ve used VetLife in the past and essentially owe them my life so I don’t want to bother them again[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="/members/papertiger" class="internal-link view-user-profile"&gt;PaperTiger&lt;/a&gt;, how horrid for you. Other than&amp;nbsp;talking about it&amp;nbsp;here (a problem shared is a problem halved), I can&amp;#39;t think of other resources. But perhaps more importantly, please DO NOT ever think you can&amp;#39;t bother VetLife again. That is EXACTLY what they are there for, whenever you need them and however often you need them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Definitely ring them whenever you feel the need.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
