thehouseofearl Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 We still haven't heard from the Oncologist. I will be calling on Monday. I have also contacted Dr. Couto and he said he would look at Targets results and MRI and give his opinion. Unfortunately I don't feel anything will change. Surgery is not an option. The information the radiologist gave me is that radiation treatment for this kind of tumor is 30 days (5 days/week) at $4,000. Or travel to US for 3 day treatment at $8,000. Life expectancy without radiation approximately 2 months, with radiation 1-1/2 years. Has anyones greyhound here had a brain tumor and experience with or without radiation? I'd like to hear if you have. If anyone knows the numbers for the big lottery I could sure use them now.

TheFullHouse Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I'm so sorry to hear the diagnosis. My Emmy had a tumor at the base of her brain. It affected her eye sight and she went blind, she also could not open her mouth wide without pain so I had to blend her food. She developed Cushings and eventually had a seizure at which point we let her go. We, at that time, just could not afford the cost of surgery, radiation and chemo. I know there was someone here on GT who got their non grey into trial at a greatly reduced cost. I think it gave her pup a year or close to it.
