About the Use of Cordy for Mammary Tumors
This is a 12-year-old rescued female cat. She underwent surgery for a mammary tumor when she was 7 years old, but recently, another lump that looks like a tumor has been found. She is still energetic and has a good appetite, and her blood tests show no abnormalities. Her veterinarian suggested trying surgery once more.
However, after her previous surgery, it took a long time for her energy and appetite to return, so the family would prefer to avoid surgery if possible. The new lump does not seem to be growing much in size compared to when it was first discovered.
Since 90% of mammary tumors in cats are said to be malignant, they are prone to recurrence and metastasis even after surgery. Therefore, it is highly likely that this new lump is also a mammary tumor. Ideally, the tumor would be removed, and thorough post-operative care would be provided. However, if surgery is not desired, it is essential to quickly restore the imbalanced immune system so the body’s immune cells can fight the tumor.
Fortunately, the growth rate of the new lump is slow, suggesting it is not highly malignant. Therefore, it is essential to adjust her immune balance effectively while the tumor is still not very aggressive.
Cordy is believed to have an effect of balancing the immune system, which could be beneficial for cats suffering from mammary tumors.
If there are no issues with her respiratory status, heart disease, or epilepsy, supplements containing organic germanium can be safely used. However, if there are any concerns, it is advisable to avoid supplements with organic germanium.
If she has a tendency to have soft stools or constipation, it suggests an imbalance in her intestinal environment. In such cases, it is recommended to use supplements containing lactic acid bacteria.
Cordy can also be used externally. If the tumor increases and breaks through the skin (ulcerates), it has been reported that spraying the supernatant obtained by suspending Cordy in 100ml of water and allowing it to settle on the affected area can assist in skin repair and odor reduction.
The sedimented Cordy that does not dissolve in water can be used as an oral medication.
Since she is currently eating well, switching to a “low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet” is important to deprive the tumor of nutrients and build the cat’s own strength.
While daily meals nourish the body, cats are sensitive to taste, so make the dietary switch gradually and patiently.
Our laboratory is researching whether administering Cordy can regulate the immune system and potentially be effective against cancer.
