My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MorganKonaAlex Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Thanks for all the good thoughts. I talked to Demon's oncologist this week. She got the xrays from my local Vet and had her radiologist review them. They agree there is a tumor in Demon's lung and it's 8cm. She says lung mets usually presents as many small tumors. She believes this is a new primary lung cancer, not osteosarcoma lung mets. His previous chest xray was 9/23 and the was clean. She outlined treatment options for lung cancer. The standard is surgical removal alone. Lung cancer doesn't respond well to chemo. With a large tumor, median survival would be 6-12 months. Complicating things is the fact he is less than a year out from his osteosarcoma diagnosis. She also gave alternative options of systematic treatments but they are unproven. The Metronomic Protocol or a new drug that inhibits blood vessel growth that's currently being studied. Both options can cause GI upset. We had tried the Metronomic Protocol with Alex and it was hard on him. We've decided to give palliative care only. He's gotten a little fussier eating and is getting winded easier. We started him on pred. yesterday and he has perked up some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
