We are only doing x-rays because Charlie is in a clinical trial for Palladia.  He'll have them every 8-12 weeks for a bit (can't recall the actual schedule).  But before we got started on the trial, we had also very seriously discussed foregoing the ongoing x-rays.  

It was such hard news initially.  For us, we have developed a 'new normal'--fully aware of the reality, but most of the time, content to be happy in the moment. 

Hi,

I hope Charlie is doing well. Can you tell me more about your experience with Palladia? My dog Blumi had osteosarcoma, we amputated, did IV chemo, then metronomic, but on her first ampuversary ... lung mets. So vet has me add Palladia (on alternate days with Leukeran, which is part of her metronomic protocol)

Have you considered traditional chinese medicine? I am considering adding some of the herbs recommended by Dr. Lena McCullough of pathwithpaws.com (there is a great radio interview with her on tripod talk radio).

Would love to hear your experience. thank you
