Found out my cat has cancer
I saw a lump my cats head like a month ago. My ocd catastrophized the situation, and I convinced myself it was cancer before I even brought my cat to the vet. So I ended up bringing him to the vet, and they did a biopsy of the lump and 2 weeks had passed, and I convinced myself not to assume the worst. I told the vet to call my girlfriend because i was going to be at work all week, and i work 12 hours. So the vet finally calls on my girlfriends birthday. They told her my cat had sarcoma and it's aggressive. She came to my job crying, and it felt like a nightmare. We're totally devastated by this development, and I'm not really sure what to do. I convinced myself things would be ok because my whole family was telling me I was jumping to conclusions. It ended up being the worst-case scenario. My girlfriend and I are a young couple. we haven't been on our own very long, and we adopted this cat when I was at a very low point. He quickly became family he is so sweet and highly affectionate, and he's like our little baby. I have to face the fact that not only is he going to pass, but I'm going to have to put him down. What a nightmare
