That actually doesn't sound like my Ker Avon. He had no symptoms at all
other than the paralysis and still did his utmost to be active, up to and
including trying mightily to drag himself to the litter pan when he had to
go... until he lost control of that completely. He would pull the useless
half of his body along and try to get around. He had no watery eyes and he
certainly wasn't lethargic.
I'm not saying your case isn't lymphoma. I am just pointing out that there
are significant differences from the way Avon presented. I certainly hope
it isn't lymphoma in the spinal column. Avon's paralysis crept upward. He
lived about a week after the paralysis started.
Good luck!
All the best,
Caity and the fantastic four
(Nyssa, Ella, Zephyr, and Chin Soon)
