So, Champ had his trip to the oncologist today and she wanted to re-do the xrays our regular vet had done. In a different view she saw a 1 cm nodule that wasn't there 3 months ago. He's been on metronomic chemo for the past 5 months. His dx was hemangiosarcoma and he had 5 chemo treatments of doxirubicin.

I am pretty devastated right now as I'd really thought we were beating this.

My questions to all here are...

1) What's the experience you have had once your dog showed lung mets? Our vet doesn't really want to give a prognosis.

2) What's your experience or what have you heard about palladia? I know it's expensive. She wants to alternate between the chemo pill he is on with the palladia. But I'm not seeing a lot on the internet about the use of palladia for hemangiosarcoma.

Any responses would be greatly appreciated. It's been 14 months since he was first diagnosed with cancer, 10 months since his spleenectomy, and 5 months since his amputation. I am still intent on fighting this.

Thanks,

Joy & Champ
