I am so very sorry to hear this news.
At least now you know what you’re dealing with and have the time to prepare yourselves.
Remember that grief kicks in as soon as you receive a terminal diagnosis, no matter how much time lies ahead.
This is the time to build special memories, to cherish Cocoa and enjoy the time you still have together.
Cocoa couldn’t be in better hands and you are all being held in the hearts of all us in the forum family
 
Hello it’s Cocoa here. Thank you for all your love & kind wishes. I know I look a bit funny at moment but I’ve been a good girl tonight & I've had lots cuddles with mummy. I’ve eaten lots tea, hidden from Heidi, weed on mummy & I now don’t wanna go bed even though it’s really late x

Hallo Cocoa! Love your kissy lips - can you teach Squeaks how to pucker up and give me nice piggy kisses? It was a bit naughty of you to wee on your mummy, and you really ought to let her go to bed, hasn't she got to look after lots of little hooman children in the morning? xx

Yes... mummy’s got 25 three & four year olds to teach in morning. But it’s ok cos she’s gonna go outside with them & play in the mud kitchen x I’m good at piggy kisses especially as I’m in a trio of 3 girls x:jel:
 
I am away at the moment and only just caught up with this thread.
I am so sorry to hear you have had such awful news about Cocoa. Stay strong and just carry on loving her for the time she has left. ❤️
 
If it were not for the fact that I have become invested in Cocoa, I would not ask the following question:

Do you know whether the histo-pathological findings differentiated between Epitheliotropic Lymphoma, and Lymphocytoma Cutis?

They look very similar. I have been doing a lot of reading. What do you know about this?
 
From what I understand, Epitheliotropic Lymphoma, and Lymphocytoma Cutis/Cutaneuous Pseudolymphoma/Cutaneouos Lymphoid Hyperplasia resemble/mimic one another clinically, and histo-pathologically - They look the same to the human eye, and under the microscope.

However, Epitheliotropic Lymphoma is terminal, whereas Lymphocytoma Cutis is potentially curative.

Lymphocytoma Cutis is a benign skin complaint, and is the result of a reactive/inflammatory/immune response to a causative agent/stimulus - One potential stimulus is parasitic infection.

Wha? You are clearly much cleverer than I am. I can't even pronounce half of your post let alone understand it!

Hi I’m afraid I’m not that clever to know the answers. All I know is what Kris said. We’ve got to remember that it’s not just her lip that’s affected but her back legs have sensation but little else (she drags them behind her). We saw the X-ray of her spine & it could be that there’s a tumour there too. Sadly I think it’s terminal :(
