Well crap. I might only be buying a year. I really shouldn't google. I know better.
Despite aggressive surgeries, 65% of cats develop new tumors one year after surgery and 91% after two years. The outcome is better for cats who are treated with one initial aggressive surgery compared to those who are treated with multiple conservative surgeries. The median average survival time following complete surgical tumor removal is approximately 16 months. Combining radiation therapy with surgery improves the overall survival to 23 months but local recurrence still occurs in 28-45% of cats. Metastasis (spread) to other organs such as the lungs has been reported for 12-26% of cats, with a median time to metastasis of 265 days.
ETA: Sorry Suzi. Let's talk office silliness instead. Seriously, I need to step away from this.
Oh no, Kristin, I'm so sorry for you.
Ooh, poor baby. That goes for both of you. But I'm still hoping the doctor gives you some better news than it looks.
No need to be sorry, hon. You have a lot going on right now.
Sweet or dill? And did you have any of E's when you saw her last?
Dill. And no, but she did give me quince.
I had beer battered pickles at a "gastropub" (read restaurant with kind of frou frou food and good beer) recently and they were unexpectedly delicious.

Part of me thinks that sounds horrible, and another part would like to try it. Perhaps if I were a few sheets to the wind. I like my pickles dill and my relish sweet.
Mmm. Dill.
My mother doesn't like it, so she always insists on serving sweet. Despite the fact that ALL the rest of us would rather have dill.
(She rode in a car on a hot day that was filled with dill, over a bumpy country road. This would have been in the 1940s, when cars were less with the comfortable and air conditioned. She never has managed to get over the dill hate.)
Ooo. Quince! I have envy.
