[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 738455, member: 18958"] We have been to our states premier university vet hospital, uc Davis. And $1000 later for one morning her diagnosis was confirmed. They wanted her t4 to come down on medication. Before scheduling her for the radiation. This new clinic which only does radiation called radiocat, now wants to see high t4. This is making me nuts. A catch 22. We have been at this five months. I had a talk with m. He thinks we cannot please three masters and agrees with you. We take responsibility and control. I will tell radiocat my dilemma. I will not keep her off the t4 and suffering while passively waiting for a cancellation. Ww will monitor her weight and when her metabolism begins to rev up we will resume her t4. So a decision has been made. No undue suffering to qualify for treatment unless there is a specific date identified and a clear commitment by them. M believes we all die and we need to fight but accept mortality when it is time. He sees me sacrificing my own body because I do not accept the limits of my power. I am trying to look at it this way. I love her so much. What a trip you have a Stella too. Thank you very much bbu.it helps. [/QUOTE]
