I hope that nothing this severe every happens to Koko. I would have very conflicting feelings about putting her through chemo and radiation. When she was a year old I had to spend $3700 on double ACL surgery. I did not hesitate because the prognosis was good that she would have a complete recover. She had to spend 12 weeks in a crate and then she was completely well.

I had to go through chemo and Radiation myself 4 years ago. I no longer have cancer but the side effect have reduced my quality of life close to nil. Koko is one of my only bright spots. I would have a hard time putting her through this treatment especially knowing what radiation in particular does to normal body cells. If I was given the same option that I received 4 years ago I would probably not do it even for my self, much less putting my precious Koko through it.

It is easy for practitioners to say this is the way to go. If they ever had to deal with treatment or its side effects they may have a different story.
