An older cat (14) is coming tomorrow, a neutered Manx, who suffered from pruritus earlier this year, with heavy-duty scratching about her neck and back that produced scabs. She seems to have a history of vomiting overnight and right after eating about once a week. Also a history of erratic appetite, decreased of late; often she won't eat unless hand-fed.
Earlier this month they discovered a multi-lobular solid adenocarcinoma of the right caudal mammary chain, with angiolymphatic invasion. The tumor grew with incredible rapidity. Creatinine is elevated (2.8 mg/dl); neutrophils high, lymphocytes down (14%). Vet says the cancer is very aggressive and that her survival is likely to be a matter of weeks or months rather than years.
This poor cat has spent a lot of time at the vet's, been on a lot of different meds. (Famotidine, prednisolone, prednisone, metacam, etc.) I've told the owner I'm willing to treat, but she'll have to wean her off prednisone.
One question I have is whether any of the usual breast cancer remedies are especially well-suited to an extremely aggressive cancer. Another would be what would the optimal diet be, given that her kidneys are in trouble. Usually I tell clients to experiment with Pitcairn's diets or a raw diet, but I'm not sure what would be best in this kitty's situation. Any ideas?
