It's been over a year since Weasel was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. On our last visit to the emergency clinic in April, we discovered he now has a liver tumour to battle as well.
Let me tell you, you wouldn't know this cat was ill. Yes, I should be very nervous about his prospects but at the moment, I'm not. He hasn't been ill since I can remember, his weight is great and he looks great. In fact, he's too lively at times and can drive me bonkers, opening and closing the door for him incessantly to go outside - I can't even write this posting uninterrupted haha.
This post is intended to provide you with information on treating both types of tumours, since I don't have anything to report in terms of Weasel falling ill. I'm going to list what we currently have him on.
Any type of cancer:
- 1 tbsp of Essiac tea
- drops of Life Gold (the number depends on your pet's weight)
Pancreatic Cancer and Liver Cancer (I can't recall at this point what targeted what one as he's been taking them for the past year with new additions added in April):
- Hyland's Cell Salts: #1 (Calc Fluor), #2 (Calc Phos), #3 (Calc Sulph), #4 (Ferrum Phos), #6 (Kali Phos), #7 (Kali Sulph), #9 (Natrum Mur), #10 (Natrum Phos), #11 (Natrum sulph), #12 (Silicea)
Although it's a bit of a blur as to what addresses what type of ailment - pancreatic or liver; with cell salts, you can't cause wrongdoing by taking them, as it simply restores a system imbalance. You can read more on each one at: http://schuessler-cell-salts.com/
- CAS Options cut into quarter size pieces. This will help all forms of cancer and can be ground up into the food. It has an appealing flavour.
- Only available from the vet: Heel Mix 3 and Guna Mix 2
- Digestion support - HMF powder (good bacteria) - 1 scoop per meal
For Liver tumour:
- 1/2 capsule once a day of Livaplex
- Cytozyme-LV - 1 tablet a day
- Liquid Hepato (mine is chicken flavour but you can get bacon too)
The above items are tasty and easy to grind or mix up into the food. They strengthen liver functionality and resistance.
If you can manage it (I can't get him to take this), provide your kitty (or pooch), Milk Thistle. It's quite effective for treating liver tumours.
It may seem like a lot to do, but it's well worth it. We've been successful in shrinking the pancreatic tumour, and hope that we have the same success with the liver tumour, now that we've started treating it as well. It's inevitable that Weasel won't live forever, and I'm aware of that; however, through these treatment regimes, I may be able to prevent a terrible and painful death from occurring. I highly recommend taking a similar course of action for your pet in need if you can financially afford to. It is a cost; however, the cost is considerably less than surgery and is spread out throughout the year(s) as opposed to one large sum to pay.
