Soft tissue tumor

[Max]

I went through chemotherapy treatments for my Lambeau due to lymphoma…. He made it 18 months post diagnosis but without insurance that covers it , you need to be ready for basically buying a new car in expenses.

I cherish every single second of those additional 18 months . I have it all documented in a thread on the site— search Lambeau lymphoma and you’ll be able to read through his journey.

Sending you lots of hugs and prayers

I just read your thread What a tough hard time you guys had. It is so unfair One day everything is great and then It just comes out of no where it’s a roller coaster ride. We found out about Max the day before I was scheduled for knee replacement We do have a appointment with the oncologist this coming Tuesday I do not want to start Radiation therapy and put him under again especially. He has been put under enough already If there was a majic pill at any cost I would love that At this point not sure what we will do except to talk with the oncologist and continue loving him Thank you for telling me your experience

My Jewel went through chemo. As @2BullyMama said it is a roller coaster of a ride. Be prepared though...quality of life concerns.

What I know from talking with the office it seems they want to do radiation therapy I was wondering if anyone went thru this and putting them under numerous times for treatment

I don’t have any memory of a member posting about radiation.

If you do decide to go this option , please post about it so others can learn.

My Mojo was 10 when he developed multiple myeloma. He had no symptoms and this was discovered in his blood work from his yearly exam. I'm lucky that I live in a city (Boston) with a fantastic animal hospital, Angell Memorial. Mojo was seen by an oncologist and was started on chemotherapy. It was a pill given for a week on/week off. The only side effect was that he was a little more sleepy than usual when taking the pills. The thing is, animals react differently than humans with a lot of treatments and you should ask the oncologist how the radiation/chemo will affect him. It may not be as bad as you think. Sadly, Mojo had a stroke (we don't think it was from the chemo) and I had to have him put to sleep. I am so glad that I was able to have more time with him and was lucky that I was able to afford the treatment.

Thank you Will keep you updated

Thank you Will keep you updated

We had seen the onigolist

I am so sorry to hear it was malignant. Hopefully, it is a slow-growing cancer and he can live happily. Let us know what the oncologist says.

We saw the oncologist He suggested the best radiation treatment would be Stereotactic radiation because they go under once for a cat scan and three times for radiation. We can not do it. The tumor being on his head can effect the eyes,nose, ears and the brain. He is so happy now can not put him thru it especially not knowing what can happen I’m thinking about just making sure he continues to eat healthy some vitamins Any advice thank you

I think you are doing the right thing. Sometimes the "cure" is worse than the disease. If he is happy and not in pain, let him enjoy life for as long as he can. Big hugs to you and Max.

Thank you Definitely a hard decision

Like I said no right or wrong, just a different path. Max is happy and also remember Max doesn't know what's going on. Yes its a tough decision, but please don't beat yourself up over it, enjoy Max. Good luck.

I would have made the same decision. It’s definitely not the easiest one but like you mentioned, the tumour is sitting on the head, He’s playing, he’s eating and drinking, he’s a happy little camper, hey that’s what you want to see. Supplements aren’t a miracle cure. I personally would do the oils as mentioned. But that’s me.

Hi have another question what do you think about him getting his rabies shot Thanks

Can you have him Titer tested instead? Here in TX, it is illegal, unfortunately. They insist on the shot, but if I could have the titer test, I would.

Thank you I just read about that test and just looked up AZ laws Will talk with vet
In Arizona, if your dog has a rabies titer test showing adequate immunity, you must still have the titer drawn
annually to satisfy state law
