Default I'm losing Khepri

So my cat has had some breathing problems the last three weeks. He's been on two courses of antibiotics, had multiple shots of steroids, spent most of yesterday in an oxygen chamber, etc. etc.

Just got a call from the vet. The last set of x-rays they did, they did a film of his upper airway as well as his lungs. There is a mass in his larynx. So they basically fixed the problem with his lungs but this is still making it hard for Khepri to breath.

Options at this point are limited. Could cost up to $4000 to diagnose and take out the mass. Then it is likely that it has already spread. Given his recent behaviour the vet thinks it might already be in his brain. I have to make a final decision at 5 today.

As if that wasn't enough, I'm at work, sobbing.

I am so sorry to hear that! We are totally cat people at our house, and love our boys (Cupcake and Whiskers) like they are part of the family. I'm sure it will be so hard when it is our turn to make the decision you are faced with today. I'm sure you have wonderful memories of a healthy and happy kitty. Let those get you through.

I'll say a little prayer for you today. Whatever you decide I'm sure will be out of love.
