Kim,
Believe me, I am already crazy! I don't know who I am any more and sometimes I
think I am going to lose my mind. Today one of my cats (Gigi, Matilda's mother)
had a surgery to remove a carcinoma from his neck and a lump from his breast.
Dudu and Dominique (lymphoma and CRF) got worse from their kidneys and stoped
eating.
One of my cats who is taking Leukeran (Samuca, Dominique's brother) doesn't
have lymphoma. He has calici virus, stomatitis and mouth ulcers and hasn't
eaten by himself for two months. My vets have just learned that Leukeran can
help this cases. That explain why Dominique's mouth improved a lot after she
started receiving Leukeran. When I realized that I asked my vet to let me give
Leukeran to Samuca but she didn't. When Samuca's condition got worse they
looked for something else and found out about Leukeran. It is a kind of funny,
isn't it? There is something about it in
http://www.vin.com/proceedings/Proceedings.plx?CID=WSAVA2003&PID=6694&O=Generic.
Sorry for you having another cat with lymphoma.
Good luck.

Erica,
I am going to try the leukeran. You have four cats on Leukeran??? I
am going crazy with two cats with lymphoma. I think of you as the
Mother Teresa of cats. Thanks for taking the time to answer my
question.
