Hi guys:

Tamalee and I saw the holistic vet the other day.  He suggests treating with green tea, cellular forte IP6 and something called auto nosodes.  You can google info about this.  I had never heard of it, but you make a "remedy" of sorts from her own blood and urine to help to try to slow the growth of these tumors.  You are basically using her own "tumor" to fight her tumor…so to speak.  he has had success with it…and some other dogs do not respond.  I am going to try…I have to.  He did not recommend a fourth removal as they will just keep coming back…I am still up in the air on it.  If these grow, and this treatment doesn't work…then I will lose her…The location is so close to her anus and vulva that surely as they grow, it will impair function for peeing and defecating…I did my research, and know others who have gone to him.  He has been around for many years.

This is so hard…how much do I put her through…yet, she deserves every chance at life I feel, but it has to be a good quality of life too…

I…am officially a mess… :(

Thank you Jackie. I am so sorry you and Abby are having a difficult time as well right now..

i will keep you in my prayers…

I think I must check the size of these lumps on Tamalee every day…I fret that if this treatment does not work and I don't remove…soon…then at the rate they are growing, it will become a problem for her quickly.

I fear that no matter what I do, I will have regrets and doubts…

Cancer sucks!

Just an update for you guys on Tamalee.  She is still taking her holistic meds, plus a few "extras", vitamins, vit E, fish oil…when she will take it!  Still has 3 tumor lumps….one may be a little bit bigger, but hard to tell…I check them so often it seems they grow every day!  In reality, two are probably the same in size, and the one..well, MAYBE a little bigger…

She is eating fairly well…somedays better than others…takes her short walks, and occasionally picks up a stuffie or a ball and wants to play :)..she still chases and barks at the squirrels too :)

So, we keep on keeping on…and praying…

Hoping the best for you and your fur kids…

Hang in there, Tamalee! Keep chasing those pesky squirrels.

I hope you have lots and lots and lots more time together!
Jackie, Abby's mom

Yay Tamalee!  That's great that two of the tumors have gotten smaller.  You must be doing something right.

That is awesome news! Keep up the good work!

All the best to you and Tamalee for lots more quality time together!
Jackie, Angel Abby's mom

that is awesome news about them shrinking!!!  Do you know what level/grade her cancer is?  Our Spencer also has fibrosarcoma.  He had his leg amputated and hasn't had any reoccurrence locally; but it has moved to his lungs.  We are currently doing his second course of chemo; but I'm very interested about this treatment you are using!
