Hi Rick,
Are you able to give us any TCM evaluation for this patient? It's challenging to recommend a specific treatment without more information (tongue and pulse, is the patient hot or cold, excess or deficient?). Are there CBC abnormalities? Is the cat eating well? Diarrhea? Any other symptoms? I've not treated a cat specifically for this condition with herbs, but we should be able to determine an appropriate formula with a little more information.
Thanks,
Erin

Hi Rick,
Mod XFZYT is defintely a consideration, especially given the anemia.
If the pulses respond to GB points, then Minor Bupleurum should be used in addition
For internal abdominal tumors, we often think of Ge Xia Zhu Yu Tang. Especially if there is abdominal pain, it's a worthwhile consideration
All can be used together if necessary, provided the cat tolerates them
The strong pulse makes me think XCHT and GXZYT might be the best options here, even though the bone marrow stimulating effect won't be as strong. You can use XCHT versions with Turmeric added, like Kan's Open the Canals of the Liver, if you like
Hope that helps,
Steve

I think so, with either XFZYT if that speaks to you, or GXZYT. There is a synergy in using Minor Bupleurum (a powerful anti-cancer formula) with Blood movers (also anti-cancer)
