Update on Gracie

So Gracie is doing really well. It was a little scary at first but she's getting better at walking and stronger by the day. She is very annoyed to be stuck in the spare bedroom still and has managed to pull out about 8 of her staples. Good thing we are heading to the vet on Monday morning.

We did get the pathology report back on the tumor...it was bone cancer. But the good news is that she doesn't need chemotherapy - can you imagine? The vet hospital checked her out so well that they didn't find a sign of cancer any place else. We still need to take her every 3 months for the next year for an exam and special chest xray to make sure. The oncologist says that this could just be primary site cancer and that means that it was only located there and hasn't spread. She is one lucky cat.

Hopefully after Monday, she'll be able to get out and about again. I know that Julius is missing her a lot and hopefully they will become friends again. She's a wonderful cat, and I just love her. I'm so glad that she's doing well.

Thank you to everyone for asking about her and all the well wishes. Especially the super cute card that Gracie got in the mail from her friends Duke & Jack (my friend Linda Kaiser's dogs)...funniest thing I've seen in a while.
