Yesterday I asked the oncologist again about limb sparing and complications. Dino's oncologist, in particular has done more limb sparing than anyone else in all of Germany. He is down to an average of 5-10% recurance on the limb. But as far as Dino's diet, there is so much conflicting information out there that it's truly confusing my wife and I. Red meat, no red meat, etc...

Thanks for the help. Yeah,Dino's oncologist, Dr Klaus Scharvogel, has done the most limb sparing in Germany. Still, my wife, our best friend and I still picked his brain for every little bit of information possible. He, along with the three of us had a change of opinion regarding the best course of action after seeing just how perfect for limb sparing Dino's arm is. Surgery and oncology wise, we feel 100% secure with the clinic. What is tearing our brains now is diet. Alternative meds I'm still working on. Right now it's exactly what barf diet would be best since at this point we are running into conflicting opinions regarding red meat. No conflicts on chicken/turkey. Here in Austria we have the benefit of mostly organic chicken grown less than 10 miles away. Personally, with this, grass fed cows raised within eyesight of our apartment, fluoride free water which comes from a glacier 4 miles away which kills me as to why I was so lazy to waste an amazing barf opportunity until a week ago But anyway, we are now going full barf. But I'll be honest, tough to figure it all out at first. But even on red meat, which we are stopping food now, poops have been reduced by close to 50%. Mind blowing!

Sorry guys, no email came in yet. But anyway, Dino goes under the knife tomorrow. I'll keep you all posted. Let's all cross our fingers.

Hey folks, I'm sorry I haven't been in here for a few days. Dino had his operation and is doing wonderful. He is scheduled for the first chemo next Thursday. The difficult part now is slowing him down since he still wants to jump and run like a puppy. Anyway, the oncologist decided to take out the ulna entirely since the tumor was a little larger than he expected. Right now he is doing fine on radius alone. I'll keep posting and pics come later. Thanks guys.

Hey folks. So far so good. Dino is limping a bit and its hard to keep him from running and trying to jump. But he does not complain about the limping at all. He is still on post surgery pain medication and antibiotics. Though I always think about how beneficial infections are in limb sparing with day and night longevity figures when compared to no infections. But anyway, Thursday we drive him over to Munich again for his first round of carboplatin. Let's hope it goes good. He is on two weeks of barf diet. Mostly chicken, turkey, salmon, and a rabbit here and there, vegetables, fish oil, cottage cheese, egg shells and turmeric.. Zero diarrhea so far and the most mind blowing thing is the downright drastic reduction in poop. Since my wife and I work at home its not hard work making 2014 the year of our Dino. We are hoping everything goes good with post operation recovery and chemo so we can get down to the business of taking Dino on a grand tour of Italian beaches. We hope we can make this one hell of a year for him. The next project for me is just what additional holistic items to feed him. I'm still researching it all.
