I swear. He is getting bulkier.
Yesterday a friend gave me a couple of bags of the cat food she feeds her pets. Blue Buffalo and Taste of the Wild. He ate it like treats. I didn't put it in a bowl, for fear he would know I wanted him to eat a lot.
He is eating (not nearly enough) but kibble and on his own.
The vertebrae are less visible and I really can't tell if the belly is round from eating properly or if it is still the tumor. I would sort of like to see it a bit shrunken, but I can't honestly remember what a normal tummy feels like. It LOOKS perfect.
He is leaving his little halter on all the time. It is a wee bit tighter than I like it but he is very comfortable with it up in his armpits so when I link my "Jethro" lead to it, he just saunters our the front door with less stress.
The trips outside seem really to help him. He is more alert and much grumpier. He has always been grumpy. Demanding and vocal, I was worried at first and then realized that the sweeter he is, the sicker he is. His returning nastiness is all great!

I am a post-middle aged artist with a post-middle aged cat with a brand new medical problem. In 2012 we conquered his Hyperthyroidism. After a year of treating with twice daily meds, a GoFundMe campaign helped him receive a radiation procedure which cured him! A year later, a MASSIVE tumor in his abdomen found in September send him off to be comfortable to the end.... well.... I have found an anti-tumor compound called DCA which is shrinking it!
