Please take this short survey
Thank you so much for taking a few moments to answer a few questions.
Dr. Sue Ettinger DVM, Diplomate ACVIM (Oncology)
Drs. Sue Ettinger and Andy Roark are interested to learn about your experience when you found out your pet has/had cancer. Taking part in this survey is completely voluntary. Please scroll down to answer all questions. You may exit the survey without completing at any time.
Your answers will be confidential and at no point in this survey will you be asked to identify yourself. Your survey responses will help veterinarians and veterinary oncologists improve how they communicate with pet owners in regards to cancer, and thus will improve patient care in the future. Thank you in advance for your participation in this survey.

The only reason I didn't is because it wants to know how family vets are telling you your pet has/might have cancer. For us, it wasn't our regular vet who told us, it was the orthopedic vet at MSU.

Murphy had his right front leg amputated due to histiocytic sarcoma at 7 years old. He survived 4 years, 2 months & 1 week, only to be taken by hemangiosarcoma at 11 1/2 years 6/12/17

I added comments in the last box. Because I had a 2nd opinion vet who was the one who actually gave us the news after the amputation. We did 2 biopsies inconclusive. Did your vet refer you to the Orthopedic vet because they do ask if you saw a specialist. I think the main thing is they want to improve discussions and how that information is given.

I would still take it. We received our diagnosis from a vet at a teaching hospital we had no previous relationship with. Michelle's correct, they are trying to improved the way the bomb gets dropped no matter who gives the news.

This is good that someone is taking time to study the most compassionate way to give the devastating cancer dx. We are so blessed in the compassionate vet we have, but I know not everyone is that lucky. Just filled out the survey.
