My cat is getting a surgery tomorrow for the removal of her entire mammary glands due to mammary gland tumors. Biopsy showed her tumors are malignant and her vet insisted this had to be done.

I picked her up from the streets when she looked to be around 1-2 yrs old, so I am not sure how old she really is now. We’ve been together for 8 years and she is the most loving cat I’ve ever known. She sleeps on my chest every night and would often rub her face on my glasses.

I can’t imagine life without her anymore if something bad goes wrong. I’m scared, I’ve gone to a cat temple to pray, but that’s all I can do at this point.

The vet said even if the surgery goes well there is a chance the cancer will come back. I can’t process further beyond hoping I still see her alive after her surgery tomorrow. I don’t want her to die scared and alone.
