Neelix Update -- Month 7 - Cancer Cat Episode 9

Neelix is back from his May 2014 visit with the oncologist and nothing has changed except his weight. He is down to 9 pounds. He was 9.4 at his March visit, so he is losing two ounces a month. The tumor still has not impacted his vision, breathing or the roof of his mouth. His prescriptions were renewed. Today's fee was $326.44, with an additional $45 or so to renew his Piroxicam. They switched the compounding pharmacy from Wedgewood to DiamondBack, which seems to be in Arizona.

He is looking a little ratty-furred these days, which is how Red, Merly, Niki and Yoda got as they got old or very sick.

Update: June 8, 2014: He went through a long stage where the eye over the tumor kept running and a maroon colored crust would form. I learned to gently wash his whole head with a corner of a warm, damp washcloth, hoping it would feel like a mother's tongue to him. Right now that episode seems to have ended, his appetite is back and he seems bright and energetic again.
