Fibrosarcoma in cats

Since December, I've been treating a sweet 7 y/o male cat who developed fibrosarcoma in the right rear leg following vaccination. Not uncommon in cats. These tumors tend to be aggressive and recurrent after surgery, but there's very little out there on how to treat them.
I've had him on Silica # Carcinosin, following Dr. Ramakrishnan's protocol. Per the animal communicator, he "feels like a new cat," and he's definitely with the regimen, which is one way of gauging if the remedy is working. Except that we recently discovered a pea-sized nodule not at the site of the old tumor, which was surgically removed, but near enough. It hasn't been biopsied, so we don't know for sure that it's a fibrosarcoma. The owner reports this nodule is softer than the previous one, and the cat does not like it to be touched (he didn't care about the original tumor).
The sensitivity to touch suggests it may be something other than fibrosarcoma; still, I'd like to be prepared in case there has been a recurrence. Anyone out there have any success in treating these things?
Yet another injury from vaccination that's rarely talked about, although Dr. Michael Fox's recent column included a letter from an irate reader who wondered why pet owners weren't forewarned about these. Proper vaccination protocol for cats evidently requires making the injection as low down on the leg as possible, so that they can amputate as little as possible if and when a fibrosarcoma develops! Arrgghhh!!!
Peace,
Dale

Sheilagh Creasy has talked about recurrences of surgically removed
tumor during process of homeopathic cure; her approach (I wish I could
remember more specific details) was simply to treat the presenting
picture, and the new tumor would shortly resolve--not necessarily
needing any new or additional remedy, tho sometimes it did, as I'm
remembering. She basically viewed it as simply a "return of old
symptom".

This bit from some old notes from a Sheilagh conf:
Q- In initial casetaking with a woman who has had e.g. mastectomy,
would you tell her that "old symptoms" may return? A-Yes, you must
discuss that with her. If any growths have been removed, there will be
metastases. You must talk this out with them. Q-But you don't know
that it will come back? A-(??Sheilagh talks about, what time period
are you talking about.... I think she is suggesting that if treatment
is carried out for long enough--which would mean, if the cure is
followed through deeply enough--that eventually the tumor will come
back. But of course we don't know in advance whether the patient will
follow the process that far or not.)
