With a heavy heart and tears in my eyes I was told today by the doctor that there was nothing he could do for Toby. When he opened Toby up the cancer had invaded his stomach, which there was a small hole, the stomach lining, most of the liver and the other organs, at this point the lungs were clear. This is a very aggressive cancer and a fast moving one. At this point Toby is not in any pain, the vet. told me he may only be around for another week or two, he told me that another cat, who was a little older than Toby had cancer, similar to Toby's and died today in the office. I will be bringing him home tomorrow and just take it day by day. I'm not ready to let him go and I know that is selfish on my part, but I don't want to see him suffering and I don't want to have to make that decision. I know deep down that if he stops eating and drinking and is not acting like Toby, the time will come to say good bye. I want to do what is best for him. I know that when he is gone he will be free, but, I'm going to miss him so much, he has brought so much joy to me and he got to go places with me, like to the beach, he is such a special cat and so sweet. Thank you everyone for your prayers and kind words.

I can not find the word to express how very sorry Iam to hear the news about your Toby..

Letting go is never easy, when you love deeply. Know that we do understand.

he is still with me but6, I know his days are numbered. I give him his medication today and he threw it up along with some green color vomit, its mostly likely bile. He lost so much weight, I told him that it is o.k. to cross over. I know this sounds horrible but it he is going to leave me soon, let it be during the night or early morning, since my vet will be in the office tomorrow morning, then I can take his body to her to have him cremented, and pick out the display I want his ashes to be laid to rest. I just look at him and it just breaks my heart, I pray that he goes peacefully in his sleep.

Patricia, Give him your love and lots of cuddles .

I am so sorry to hear about Toby.. We're thinking of you guys and I hope Toby remains pain-free.

I'm sorry...
