Wow, what a blessing the past six months have been.  Sophie was diagnosed with bone cancer on March 31st, and here we are six months later and she is doing wonderful.  Outside of the two Aredia treatments in mid-April, I have had Sophie on the following:  2 Curamin tabs in the morning, 2 scoops of Nupro w/breakfast, 6000mg of fish oil tabs in the morning, 2 Butyrex tabs w/6000 mg of Artemisinin in the evening just before bedtime.  Her meals consist of boiled chicken, brown rice, mixed veggies with extra doses of spinach, broccoli and brussel sprouts.  I am astonished at how well she is doing, especially since the vet said she had 6 to 8 weeks without any chemo or amputation.  She has slimmed down from about 180 to 150 which is a result of her diet and elimination of treats that were high in carbs.  Her spirit, appetite and activity level are great, with the only real difference being that she no longer takes of on long runs.  She will still go on a short run after a squirrel or rabbit and loves to play catch with the football.  After losing another dane to lymphoma, this is truly a miracle.
