From means dizzy in the uk it's been a while since we have been here. But I wanted to give some hope to people it's almost 2 years since she was diagnosed and had her amputation. At the time I could never have dreamt that she would actually make 2 years post amp even though we hope every day that she will live forever and she's doing ok. I will try and catch up on all the goings on and there will be pictures so for now just hi from us
Dizzy diagnosed with osteosarcoma 24 may 2011 amputated same day doing fine hopping around on three legs giving the neighbourhood cats what for
This is so encouraging! We are 3.5 months post amp with Libby. I would love for Libby to join the 2 year club.
Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13. Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14

WOW:-) TWO YEARS AND GOING STRONG:-)
HOPE FOR ALL:-) THANK YOU:-)

TWO YEARS after osteosarcoma and STILL doing great? WOWWW! Go Dizzy!
It's wonderful to hear your latest update and know that another dog has shown osteosarcoma the door. We are THRILLED for both of you Gillian, thanks so much for coming here to share Dizzy's story and inspire others with her amazing recovery and remission from cancer.
We can't wait to see pics! And I know folks would love to hear about her treatment, diet, etc., so if you're so inclined we would love to know what's been helping her keep that cancer away.
Yay Dizzy!

From abandoned puppy to Tripawd Warrior Dude, Dakota became one of the 2011 February Furballs due to STS. Our incredibly sweet friend lived with grace and dignity till he impulsively raced over the Bridge on 12-15-12.

So good to know that Dizzy is doing so well.
Joan and Lily
Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.
