Proof That A K-9 Cancer Diagnosis Doesn’t Mean “The End” (Tri-Pawed: Embracing Canine Osteosarcoma)




http://blog.theanimalrescuesite.com/sheridanpartone/?

Sheridan was diagnosed with Canine Osteosarcoma. But for Sheridan and his humans, that didn’t mean he should just lie down and wait to die. Watch his beautiful journey as he fights cancer in his own way by living his life to the absolute fullest!

So far he's handling the chemo like a champ, and his quality of life is still pretty good. The swelling is way down already, hardly noticeable now. He'll let us know when it's time.

She had brain surgery with 3 docs attending. She got through that OK, but cancer in dogs spreads like a motherfker...It got to her lymph system before they could do the chemo or radiation.

It just about killed me when she could no longer breath without an oxygen tent to have her injected.

I wish anybody with a dog that is ill good luck.
