While I was lying in her cage at the hospital, talking and petting in such a way that she could not resist the goo and the purr, we got confirmation.
The biopsy of Hissyfit's tumour confirmed she has terminal lymphoma.
Yes, the same cancer as Phoenix, and only months after his diagnosis.
And they aren't even biological siblings.
It just...breaks all reason.
And hearts. Those the deepest.
Although, once again, we are as blessed as we are cursed. The tumour had ruptured her bowel, flooding her abdomen with bacteria. It would have killed her in less than two days.
Bless all for this family's closeness, and, even more important, crazy ass stubbornness...
