[Sammy Having His Surgery.]

a good friend's grey had a small cycst on his toe

it was cancerous so they amputated the toe and he is doing fabulous more then 2 years later

so even if g-d forbid it is cancer he will be fine

[Hemangiosarcoma On Skin]

well melman had additional surgery on thursday to make sure all the margins and a little growth were clear

thank g-d they are

there is a 30% chance even tho we have had xrays and a sonogram and there are no signs of the cancer in his organs it could spread

we are taking him to an oncologist on monday tp see if they suggest chemo

thanks everyone for your good thoughts

[A New Monty Cancer Thread]

fabulous!!!

[Here We Go Again]

so sorry for what you guys are going thru

it stinks

hugs

[Lesion On Marx's Right Back Leg]

i have learned if i am going to worry about it it is better for me to take them to the vet

i do go overboard many times our vets laugh and send us home

especially the time i brought myron in cause i thought he was bleeding internally and it was a suntan

[A New Monty Cancer Thread]

our guys would eat 100 percent canned salmon and chicken soup from to kosher deli

hugs to all of you

 

[Monty Has A Weird Lump: Chemo Started Post 384]

keeping you guys in our thoughts and will be chanting the b cell not t cell chant also!!!

[Monty Has A Weird Lump: Chemo Started Post 384]

please know monty and all of you are in our thoughts

hugs

[Panus]

Our saullie had pannus

he wore the cutest baseball cap on our walks

when it was super sunny he wore doggles and the baseball cap

we put 2 sets of eye drops fo 7 years until he died at almost 12

 

[Monty Has A Weird Lump: Chemo Started Post 384]

it is amazing how fast they recover

just remember he doesn't know what is going only he just feels you love!!!!

but a mommy chicken soup is miracle drug (lol)

[Monty Has A Weird Lump: Chemo Started Post 384]

hoping for an easy uneventful recovery

i am a firm non believer in "usually" and statistics

i there is a one in a billion chance it could not be cancer then monty could be that one

it is is aggressive in 99% monty could be the 1%

my dad was given a less then 5% chance of making it thru the night he lived another happy healthy 22 years

we were told saullie would only live 3-4 months tops with osto and no amputation etc

he lived another year

i was told not to worry there was less then a 1 in 250,000 person chance i would have this condition

i do and finally i was told from diagnosis to death 18 months tops

i am healthy 10 years later and going strong

monty will fit into my school of thought lol

 

[Hemangiosarcoma On Skin]

some more good news

his sonogram results came in today and there are no signs of the cancer in his spleen etc

we saw a tiny little red thing on his other side so our vet is going to check it out when he removes some more of the area where the orginal spot was on thursday

after that we will make the decision whether to do chemo

my daughter is an accupunturist and an herbologist so she is going to check out herbs to give him if we don't go with chemo

thanx for everyones healthy thoughts

[Greyhounds And Cancer]

morty died at 13 of osto last dec he lived 3.5 months

saullie died at 11.5 in june of osto saull amazed everyone no chemo or amputation just strict died artisnimin and lots of mushy hugs he lived a year

chester died at almost 10 of mast cell

casy our non grey kerry blue died of cancer at 13

zie our wolf hybrid died at 16 of cancer last jan

now our new guy has cancer he is only 5.5 we are waiting today for sonogram results so make sure it hasn't spread to his organs

i read an article that said over 65% of all dogs will die of some form of cancer

really sticks

 

[Monty Has A Weird Lump: Chemo Started Post 384]

I am so sorry

There is nothing i can say but just know everyone is here for you

I don't post much but always come to the board when I have questions re any of my pups

I learned so much when morty & saullie got sick with osto

when we lost them the support was amazing especially since i am not a "regular"

Now with our new guy having Hemangiosarcoma I came here to find out other experiences

sending hugs and a speedy uneventful removal

 

[10 Months And Still Fighting!]

a happy healthy uneventful holiday season and many more to come

you go girl

[Monty Has A Weird Lump: Chemo Started Post 384]

hoping it is a just lump nothing more

 

[Hemangiosarcoma On Skin]

our boy had xrays today of his stomach, heart and lungs today

and thank g-d nothing!!!

monday a sonogram

if that shows nothing then the vet is going to do a little deeper surgery to make sure

if all goes well and i know it will then it is just keep a close eye on him for any little bump

they don't feel he will need chemo at this point since in the first surgery there were clean margins

 

[Does Anyone Has Experience With Mast Cell Tumors]

unfortunately our chester died of mast cell

for him it was very aggressive and very painful

we would have done anything to keep him but he would cry in pain

just make sure it is mast cell and if it we would do the chemo

hugs to billy jack

[Hemangiosarcoma On Skin]

My angel Cassie also had dermal Hemangio.

Here is a site I went to, to read up about itHemangio

 

Also when they remove the tumor they should be able to tell you what "grade" it is. I would take all that info and then judge if I wanted to continue on with more testing and treatment

 

 

 

 

you know i was half listening to the vet when he called

we just lost 3 dogs to cancer and i was in a state of shock

the margins are clear i forgot to ask what grade

he was giving me all the protocols that were an option if it is not in his internal organs

he told me things were in our favor but i am not one to go by statistics so i shut off after that

he is having xrays on friday but i will be away my poor dh will be bringing him

 

again thanks everyone for your knowledge and kind words

 

[Hemangiosarcoma On Skin]

thanks for your responses. you guys are terrific in your fast reponses!!!

his tumor looked somewhat like the pictures

thank g-d his margins are clear

xrays of chest and lungs on friday

then sonogram next week if everything is clear then he will go on chemo forever

they are probably going to remove some more area as long as nothing else shows up

our vet is working with an oncologist

we are switching him over to a no carb totally wholistic diet

 

[Hemangiosarcoma On Skin]

does anyone have any information on this?

where are they doing the most work?

treatment?

[Genie's Gone]

I also tell people at M & G's about genie and suzy

thank you soo much with sharing her with the greyhound community and giving her a wonderful loving home

we are making a donation in honor of genie to osu

[Babesiosis?]

thanks for all the advice

the vet wants to do some more blood work

he said not the panic but of i am lol

i will keep everyone updated
