Injection Site Fibro-sarcoma

mickeyd Sep 13, 2006 10:56 PM

My 16 year old Cat (Snaggles) has a rare cancer....it is an injection site - fibrosarcoma (just off the left side of his anal area). It was diagnosed late March and we had it removed. We cared for him, gave vitamins to try to improve his immune system BUT didn't want him to endure any chemo or radiation treatment. This aggressive cancer is now back and it is very large.

We have elected not for him to go through surgery again and we are just keeping him comfortable and stress free (as suggested by our 2 vets). MY ISSUE is the cancer has "broken" through and killed his skin and is very bloody. This "open wound" needs some form or care and we need it to stop.

DOES anyone have any known remedies or suggestions to care for this open cancer wound,,,that we imagine will only grow more over the next few weeks

thanks
Michael

my best suggestion on this one would be to push your vet for more info on ointments or medications that could help the skin problems--there might be things to make it less uncomfortable.

My heartfelt apologies for the difficult situation your family is enduring. I don't have any information but when I was researching FIP, I came across this site which may have information. They responded to my email quickly.
