Our dog just diagnosed with hermangiosarcoma

by Brett B.

Our beloved Golden Retriever had a splenectomy for a ruptured tumor on her spleen and has been diagnosed with hermangiosarcoma. We have gotten xrays (normal Vet didn't see anything) but have not seen a specialist yet.

She is very playful since the surgery but I understand this is normal and she will just become more lethargic over time. We are waiting to see the specialist to determine if chemo is the right treatment. We are not willing to give up but don't want her quality of life to suffer just for an extra couple of months.

I have been researching the holistic treatments and would love to hear any stories good or bad regarding this kind of treatment.

Thank you in advance for sharing.

Brett B.

Our beloved Boomer went to be with God yesterday. She went peacefully and is now in a place free of pain. We loved her and will miss her deeply. She will always be in our hearts. God bless you all.

We saw the cancer specialist yesterday and he conducted an ultrasound and echocariogram and all indications are clear. We were very relieved but still know it's not over. We are determining whether to start treatment with doxorubicin, some other steroids, or a more holistic approach. If anyone has any stories, we would be most appreciative of hearing your experiences. Still battling!

- Thank you for the note, thoughts and prayers. We are meeting with the specialist on Thursday. My wife and I are leaning toward not using chemo treatments and try holistic treatment. Just can't bear to see our baby girl in pain. We will just enjoy whatever time we have left with her - long walks, hugs, and lots of treats. Thanks again for taking the time to write. Best Wishes.
