my heart is heavy.
When I returned from Thanksgiving I noticed something wasn't right with my Talia Boo. So today I took her to the vet and was confirmed with what I suspected.
The Supreme Dowager Empress Talia Christine Ekaterinova has cancer. It's bone cancer in her jaw. Given her age (she's 13) and incredibly sensitive system, I have opted to not bother taking her to the veterinary dentist for the potential of having her lower jaw removed. Instead I have brought her home to enjoy what she has left with her family. The vet has said he suspects a couple months instead of weeks, but as all things with cancer, you never know. Unlike my beloved Nicodemus who had a fibroid sarcoma, she cannot be treated with steroids.
Right now she eats, uses the box as she should and is very demanding of snuggles (she even demanded snuggles from Doctor Dave). So it's just let nature take it's course and know that she will tell me when it's time to say goodbye.
