but blood work shows no signs? Is it cancer or benign? When we did xrays to do prelinary work before surgery for a very small mast cell tumor on my cat's head (he has a good appetite, heart normal, breathing normal, etc), a large shadow showed up (in all 3) indicating a primary lung tumor. We see the Internist in a few days, but the cat's blood work is perfectly normal. My primary vet said that had it not been for the x-ray, she'd never guess anything was wrong. No cancer cells in the blood work. This confuses me, a I figured it must be a part of the other cancer and metastasized, but that would show in the blood, right? Do cats have benign lung tumors? He is acting SO NORMAL...running, playing, eating, etc. BTW, he is nearly 13.
