Alicia,
Age is definatly not on her side. Peggy is about 9 years old, and also has adrenal and insulinoma so surgery seems to be out of the question. The bone cancer is located at the base of her tail. How long did Brodie survive for, and what can I do to make Peggy comfortable? I'm concerned about haveing to put her down due to the disaeses not kill her, but justmaking her very weak. She's lasted for about a year with the bone cancer so far.
