Seti's not in any pain any more.

The vet concurred with my assessment of lymphoma having infiltrated several of his internal organs, causing system failures. Since the palliative care for lymphoma is no different than what we were already doing, we had already reached the end of treatment options. I feel like it is terribly unfair that this hit him at the very start of his old age, but I am in a way relieved that this was not drawn out and I feel like I made the right decision at the right time. I'm enormously sad--sad doesn't even begin to describe it--but I know he had a very happy life and only a small portion of it was this illness.

Here he is only seven or eight weeks ago in happier times. My camera work isn't very good, but hey, you try following a ball of energy like this one was!
