    if there is metastasis

    and the lungs are the usual site, then a Chemo protocol using Doxorubicin for the maximum 5 treatments will give the dog a median time of 1 yr survival. For most of this period one would expect a remission, and a high quality of life for the dog. Cisplatin can be used in conjunction with Doxorubicin for a slightly longer survival time, but Cisplatin tends to be a nasty drug per nausea. The side effects of Doxorubicin are easily controlled with Metoclopromide.

    Thank you for your support guys.
    I have bad news.
    Bella will not have the surgery because her chances of survival afterward are very slim. She will be put down soon. I don't know when. :'''(

    I am so sorry. She is absolutely beautiful. I will certainly have her in my prayers, along with your boss and you, too.

    Oh gosh Carmen, I just saw this thread.

    What heartbreaking news for you and your boss especially. Poor, poor Bella.
    She is a beautiful girl, it is too bad there's nothing that can be done

    I am so sorry to hear about Bella. I posted on here a few days ago for the first time ever. I just lost my wonderful, lovable Rottweiler, Rock to bone cancer. He was fine that morning and in extreme pain by the same evening. I said good-bye to him a day and a half later. Please just remember this, no matter what...........It sounds like Bella is very loved and has had a great life. So many dogs have not had this. Please comfort yourself and Bella's owner by knowing that this dog has been loved and treated wonderfully. That's the best we can do!
