Thanks to everyone for your well wishes!
Dakota and Zeuspod, we've been trying a new treatment for hemangiosarcoma and Percy's vets think that that may have helped. It is a combination of carboplatin and another chemo drug vinorelbine. Carboplatin alone did not work for us -- Percy's mets grew while he was taking that.
Cathy, Percy says that everyone gets as many treats as they would like!!
Wonderful, amazing, fantastic and yippee!!!! Thanks for sharing your great news!
Shock and Awe, SUPER YAY! I am so happy for Percy and you 🙂

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
I was just wondering... were you doing chemo or anything? If so, what kind?
Jac and Angel Spencer. Spencer was 5.25 years old. He fought a grade 3 fibrosarcoma, started on his shoulder. Left front leg amputated in August 2011. 15 weeks of chemo finished 12/22/11 (mytox and adria). Lung mets found on x-rays 12/28/11. Started carboplatin 1/6/12. Went to Heaven on 2/27/12. I miss him like crazy every day. See his blog here: http://spencer.tripawds.com/

Justjac, I wasn't sure if you saw the post above - tells which drugs they were trying.
Zeus was a Husky mix diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at age 11. A visible lung met and suspicious spot on his liver meant a poor prognosis-six weeks was our vet's best guess. We decided to fight for our boy and his right front leg was amputated on 12/1/11. We did six rounds of chemo, changed his diet and spoiled him completely rotten. We were blessed with 10 great months after diagnosis. Against the odds, the lung met remained a single met and grew very little over those months. A wonderful furbaby with the most gentle spirit, he fought with a strength that we never imagined he possessed. We have no regrets...
