Black Friday and Bijoux

I hope everyone is doing okay. Sorry I haven't posted in awhile.
We had to cut our Thanksgiving visit by a couple days because our cat, Bijoux has an appointment at an animal hospital in Manassas VA for some further tests to augment what she received at the emergency vet the other night, and an ultrasound to try to see what is causing a fluid (in x-ray) on her left side. We'll know more from today's diagnostic appointment what it is, and what our options are.
She's currently constipated and has some trapped gas, making her sides bulge a little. But she doesn't seem to be in any pain though her appetite is diminished. Otherwise, she's doing a lot of her typical stuff and vocalizing.
In every opportunity available, we've been spending quality time with her, telling her what a good kitty she is, and doing all of her favorite things.

It's lymphoma. She probably has between 4 to 8 weeks of quality life in her. We're looking into the possibility of having an in-home euthanasia so we don't have to stress her out by putting her back into her carrier, and she can pass more naturally in the home she's enjoyed along with us.
So it looks like we'll have the holidays together, and then we'll monitor her condition after the first of the year to see when it would be best to let her go. In the mean time, we're going to make each moment for her as good as it can be, and let her eat and do pretty much whatever she wants.
