Hi everybody ๐ŸŒน

I have been largely absent from the site since Eurydice earned her wings June 12th but nevertheless have kept you all in my heart and am forever thankful for all the support me and my girl had for over a year โœŠ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’•

I will start posting regularly and welcoming new members as soon as I feel ready to become active again which no doubt will happen in the future.ย 

In the meantime, I've been in contact with a number of people in Portugal and France who found themselves in our position.

There are two separate recent situations where I would really appreciate your help and advice, as none of their pawrents speaks English.ย 

One is a 5 1/2 year old Great Dane boy and the other a 7 1/2 year old Great Dane girl.ย 

The girl (called Flo) had a CT scan and the boy (called Archa) had an X-ray.

Those were performed as both started limping and were misdiagnosed, as it sadly happens so often.ย 

The results for both Danes show masses in the upper part of the leg very near the hip and their vets say amputation cannot be performed due to the location of the lesion.ย 

This all happened today so their extremely worried Moms are both waiting to see an oncologist at Lyon hospital next week.ย 

At this point, osteo is not 100% confirmed but their vets are pointing very firmly in that direction.

Does any of you have any experience with this kind of location for primary tumours?

Did any of your dogs have surgery regardless of this specific location?ย 

If not, was radiotherapy an option ?

Did it work ?

Archa and Flo's Mom's are truly devastated and having been there myself, as all of you, I would be grateful for any advice you could give and will pass it on immediately.ย 

Million thanks from Archa and Flo ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ

Sending you a big hug and angel's slobbery kisses from goofy Eurydice ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’ซโœจ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒน

Teresa you are such a gift to those folks and everyone you make contact with, thank you so much.

The odds of OSA appearing in those locations, in two different dogs, is so crazy low, we rarely see it here. So what the vet is saying is that it's too close to the hip to get good margins? If so, what about a hemipelvectomy, where part of the hip is removed? We've seen members go through this procedure quite a few times. Has that been discussed?

As for palliative radiation therapy, point them to Hazel the Great Dane palliative radiation therapy story. I think they will see that it's a viable option if amputation is not, as long as they can afford the cost (which his pretty high).ย 

Thank you again for being there for these folks, and for asking for feedback here!

Awww Teresa, I'm so glad your friends have you as a resource and as a support. ย  I know you will give them incredible amount of guidance as they navigate through their journey wherever it may take them.

Hope Jerry's links give them some insight on options.

And for goodness sakes, we always feel your presene and Eurydice's presence too. ย You don't need to be "on the site". ย You two are "here" with us everyday. ย You have given us so many gifts and so many kife lessens that will stay with us all furever!heart

I spoke eith someone on the Helpline today who had a "large" dog in need of amputation. ย Obviously she was concerned about how a big dog, frontย legger, could handle it. ย Once she heard about MIS COW, she felt far more confident!

Thank you Eurydice! ๐Ÿ™‚heart

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

Hi Rene ๐ŸŒบ

Thank you so much for the advice and for your kind words ๐Ÿ’•

Yes, I suppose there aren't good margins but at the moment we haven't got enough feedback to understand what is going on in detail.

Both Moms are waiting to meet an oncologist who will hopefully explain what the situation is, up to now they only saw their vets who obviously aren't knowledgeable enough to deal with such a complicated scenario ...ย 

I'd never hear about the hemipelvectomy before so was cheering madly and jumping up and down with joy (and Angel Eurydice too) as all of a sudden surgery might be possible ย for these big cuties after all !ย 

As for Hazel's Tripawd Tuesday I'd seen it yesterday and directed them to the blog, it is such an incredible example of how a 9 year old Dane can be so happy and enjoy life to the full ๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’“

How can I get in contact with Hazel's pawrents to get more info?

Are they on Tripawds?ย 

Thank you again for your precious help, I've already texted both Moms with the info.ย 

I'll keep you posted on the progress, it might be useful to others who might be facing a similar problem with their fluffies.ย

Hi Sally ๐ŸŒป

You are an angel, a marvellous ย angel ๐Ÿ’ are you sure your DNA was not mixed with some cute Mastiff at some point in time ?ย 

Thank you so much for your lovely words and for keeping me and Eurydice always close to you and the Tripawd family ๐Ÿ’•ย 

I do think about you all every day and consider myself lucky (despite the horrible circumstances under which we all met) to call you all close friends.

I am so glad Rene and Jim started Tripawds, they too are wonderful angels ๐Ÿ’•

And how truly lovely to hear our Eurydice encouraged and inspired another family to start their journey ๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’“

I am sure she was winking at you from above today ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿฎ

Hi Teresa

Im sorry I canโ€™t be of much help with information regarding hind leg and possible hip amputation, Stewie had his FL leg removed 3 months ago, due to Osteosarcoma.

What I would like to add though is major cudos to you for helping your friends! You have already been through this with your darling Eurydice and now you are opening up your heart again for these people... youโ€™re a very brave and beautiful person for doing that! Maybe that could be on Jim & Reneโ€™s future bucket list.... A translator for all world members!winkerย 

I also know that your ย are going to get some great advice from some wonderful and (sadly) experienced people, who can offer support and suggestions. We also offer our hearts, in the hope that strength comes with numbers.big-blink

Please pass on to your friends that they have another Tripawds member offering healing and loving thoughts through to Archa & Flo!ย heartclap๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ–๐Ÿฅ“๐Ÿ”๐Ÿง€๐Ÿง๐Ÿจ๐Ÿฆโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

Hi everybody ๐ŸŒท

Here are the developments concerning treatment for possible inoperable bone tumour ย located on the hip.ย 

1. Cyber Knife Radiationย 

So ... thanks to Rene I contacted Joel (Hazel's Dad) to get more info on cyber knife radiation and would like to share it with you.

Joel was fantastically wonderful and provided all the info so we can understand how it works.ย 

Cyber knife differs from normal palliative radiation because the radiation dose is much higher and extremely precise.

Based on 3D images captured during a CT scan or MRI an analyst maps the various angles the radiation can be delivered and finds the combination of angles that provide the greater dose to the tumour. By doing so healthy tissue will not be hit as it would with traditional radiation.ย 

The high dose of radiation to the tumour is quite effective at slowing down its growth and eliminates pain very effectively.ย 

Statistics show cyber knife combined with carboplatin represent an average survival of 11 months, much better than traditional radiation.ย 

Dogs must be under general anestesia and most protocols consist on a 5 session treatment, five days in a row.

Anestesia is not as high a dose as for a normal surgery as the aim here is simply to get the dog imobilized during 1h to complete the treatment.

The treatment lasts for many months (in Hazel's case 7 months of a pain free, happy life) and can be repeated in the future.

There is no maximum amount of times it can be repeated but the snag here is radiation weakens the bone so the risk of a pathological fracture is there and has to be taken into consideration.ย 

The aim of cyber knife radiation is to slow the tumour growth and shrink it and at the same it reduces substancially the pain for the dog.

Hazel showed no side effects from the treatment.ย 

2. Calcium injections

This is brand new to me.

I spoke to Archa's Mom tonight (she is seeing oncologist tomorrow) to let her know about cyber knife radiation and she told me one of her friends mentioned her best friend (human) has inoperable osteosarcoma.

She did chemo but tumour was unresponsive so her oncologist proposed an experimental treatment which consists of calcium injections once a month.ย 

She started those eight months ago and the tumour is stabilised since then!ย 

How it works is calcium wraps around the tumour and that stops it from growing and from spreading.

Of course, dosage has to be calculated individually and monitored with blood tests.ย 

So, Cathy wants to try that with Archa as it can do no harm and can be combined with chemo in Archa's case.ย 

I feel really happy right now as I was told about these two possibilities, wouldn't it be marvellous if we could tackle this horrid disease ?ย 

I just feel we are getting closer and closer, even if Eurydice could never live long enough to be saved my heart is full of joy just thinking at some point others will be able to live their lives and no longer fear osteosarcoma.ย 

Sending you all a huge hug, cuddles and lots of happy woof woofs from Miss Cow from the sky ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’ซโœจ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒน

Darling Petra, sweetie pie ๐ŸŒบ

Thank you so very much for your kind words ๐Ÿ˜ you are such a lovely person, I was really touched ...ย 

Yes, sadly I could not keep Eurydice with me for even one day longer, the vet told me she would not survive that evening.ย 

It was very hard, it always is when you love somebody as much as we all love our babies but when their cards are up they have to go and henceforth they will stay with us forever in a different form, that's the truth ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

I cannot help Miss Cow any longer but I feel personal about damn cancer ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’ฉ and am adamant to do everything in my power to help others and to investigate treatments and options as much as I can.ย 

When a cure is found, ALL our Angels will sing with cheer happiness SO loudly we will be able to hear them from here ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

And yes, a translator I will gladly be whenever the need arises ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ

Just a quick update on Archa and Flo ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ

They were seen by a very competent oncologist at Lyon cancer centre today, and:

Archa did a CT scan this afternoon, I don't know the results yet.

Oncologist says she doesn't think Archa can get an amputation due to the location of the tumour but will give final advice when she sees scan results.ย 

Flo did a biopsy to check whether tumour is cancerous.

Oncologist says Flo can get an amputation if it is a malign tumour.ย 

Will keep you posted.

Love and cuddles to everyone ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’ซโœจ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒน

Hey everybody ๐ŸŒบ

Here's update on Archa!

He had his scan results today and it's better than initially thought ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

No mestastases anywhere and his tumour is located at the top of the femur but does not touch the hip as initially suspected.

His Mom Cathy is waiting for biopsy results next week which hopefully will confirm whether it is osteo or not.

I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed that it won't be Osteo ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

I'm visiting them next Monday and will post some pictures.

Cathy asked me to pass her most heartfelt thanks to all of the Tripawds family on her behalf and Archa's ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿฎ

She is really moved by how people she does not know can root so much for her and her baby ๐Ÿ’•

I must also thank enormously Joel, Hazel's Dad who provided invaluable information on cyber knife and is also keeping his fingers crossed for Archa and Flo ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Tripawds is, indeed, the best place to be when one is faced with ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’ฉ cancerย 

Thank you all ๐Ÿ’ will keep you posted as soon as biopsies' results are available.
