Moving too fast for the iPhone camera to capture, Chester and Kai are playing with the pink pig.

We went to UC Davis vet hospital for Kai’s oncology consult yesterday. As everyone pretty much already knew, the pathology report showed that Kai’s tumor was malignant. Although surgery removed most of the malignancy, the surgeons and oncologists are certain that some cells were left behind, and without further treatment the cancer will just regrow, probably within months. So they’re recommending both radiation (to kill the remaining malignant cells) and follow-up chemotherapy (to prevent spread), and we’re going to go ahead with this plan. This means Kai will spend most of the next four weeks in Davis getting his radiation therapy.

We hope to board him up there from Monday through Friday, and have him home on the weekends.
