johnpalmerThe vet removed the growth and thinks it doesn't look cancerous, but we're having it tested to be sure.
Chibi definitely has a thyroid problem, though. I don't know the scale that I was shown, but up to 5.8 or so was normal (and the vet said that 4 was really a better high for an elderly cat), and Chibi was at 8.1.
The vet's suggested either medication, or radioactive iodine. I'm not sure about the ups and downs of either, and I'm waiting just to be sure I know that the growth isn't cancerous before deciding.
But he's back home, and healthy appearing, and I'm feeling a lot better.
Thank you to everyone who responded over the past couple days, I really appreciated it. I tried to respond to folks, but I kept running out of emotional energy when I tried.
For now, it's time for bed, so I can finally try to get in a day of work where my mind isn't pulled in ten different directions.
