rascalsmom Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 That is exactly what I was hoping it would be. The same kind of of tumor Foxy had. I hope you can relax a bit. There is a treatment that Dr Couto can offer that is not very invasive. You might want to have your vet contact him to discuss it. Is it radiation? The vet who operated on Rascal is actually a former student of Dr. Couto, from what I've been told. Phoebe (Belle's Sweetpea) adopted 9/2/13.

Guest tampagreymom Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 My girl Jade had an hemangiopericytoma removed over 2 years ago and there has not been any recurrence. I was told the same thing-that it is not a bad type of cancer since it does not spread. I hope you have many more healthy years with your Rascal.

The vet who operated on Rascal is actually a former student of Dr. Couto, from what I've been told. No, they use a very small amount of a chemo drug mixed with sesame seed oil. It is injected into the tumor site. Today is Frank's 1 year anniversary of being free of hemangiopericytoma. If a dog has to get cancer, it's the one to get. That didn't sound right, but it's true. I know Denise, when I speak I often say that if a dog has to get cancer this is the one to get.
