What happens after my cat is diagnosed with cancer?

It depends on the type of cancer your cat has. Let's say it's a squamous cell carcinoma of the nose or the ear. Then we're probably going to progress with surgery, and sometimes, depending on the depth of it or its severity, we may even consider some radiation. We may or may not do surgery with intestinal cancer, which we most likely diagnosed based on weight loss, vomiting, or diarrhea. We may just go straight to some chemotherapy, and chemotherapy in cats and dogs is a little different from humans. We use a lot of the same drugs. Many of these drugs are well-tolerated. Some are not as well-tolerated. And some are oral medications that you give at home, so don't be afraid of the word chemotherapy. It just means using chemical agents to attack the cancer cells. It can be in the form of IVs, but it can also be in the form of oral medications at home.
