I'm really sorry to hear about Cassie, Jo. By strange and horrible coincidence, my cat (well, my mum's cat ... well, no, my cat, really, although i haven't lived at home for four years) had mouth cancer; she died on January 2nd this year. It was going on for a couple of months; it was unremittingly, indescribably horrible. I dearly hope that Cassie's not in for the same fate.
On the other hand, my aunt has an autoimmune problem - her overenthusiastic immune system has managed to kill off various mucosal secretory cells, so she no longer has tears or saliva. It hasn't stopped her, though - she converted 30,000 Thais to Christianity a while ago.

Anyway, best of luck.
