This is my sweet senior baby Lucy. The first photo was just a couple weeks ago, about a month and a half post diagnosis of OSCC. The rest of the pictures were all before she got sick. Lucy is the sweetest cat I’ve ever known, and I’m so grateful I got to be with her for over half my life. I’m currently up to my neck in vet bills but I’m okay with that since she is still here, and still happy. The internal medicine specialist she is seeing and I had agreed to start her on toceranib, and so far she tolerates it well, and we believe its shrinking the tumor atleast a little.

Her most recent appointment a couple days ago, the vet said she is pleased with how she is doing. She’s even gained 2 ounces in the last two weeks. As long as she’s happy, I’ll do and pay whatever it takes to keep her that way. She gets whatever human food she wants, I spend all of my free time with her, and since she got sick we usually spend that time in my yard and alley. I just hover over her like a helicopter while she explores and rolls around. I even made a gfm which I always told myself no matter what I face, I’d handle it alone. But she is far too important to let my pride get in the way of preserving her joy and comfort during these final days.

She has a piece of my soul, that she’ll take with her when she goes. I love you Lucy, and I always will. You will forever be my special bean. My special Luce goose. My sweet sassy girl with the beautiful green eyes. The most beautiful cat I’ve ever seen ❤️
