It is kind of is a sensitive topic imo. Believe Leon is a really good man though and in real life I'm a rather blunt person too, so I get it. But it was obvious the decision had already been made to try and prolong the life of Roman, and it is the same avenue I would choose if there is a chance for any good life still.  

Have never had a dog die of anything other than euthanization personally, so I understand and believe everybody else does as well. 
Now personally, I consider my dogs part of the family and will do anything for them as most others will. My criteria for putting one down is when there is no other options and they no longer have any wag in there tail at all and/or they can no longer stomach food and quit eating and are just in constant misery with no option to help any longer. Then I pay extra to have the vet come to the house and do in their own bed as to not upset them on last day on a car ride to the vet,  and love on them throughout the process never leaving them.  Just me though, everybody has to make that decision for themselves.  But really does not sound like Roman has reached this point per there is an option or two available still that may provide a happy life. 

Yet dogs have short lives and a year longer life is like 7 years for a person. Now I don't tell anybody what to do with there family, this is just how I do it. 

May God bless Holic and his wife, Roman plus all who have donated or shared their experiences or medicines that worked for them. 

I don't think there's anything wrong with Leon sharing his thoughts about putting an animal down,, he is a farmer and probably has dealt with that a lot. He didn't stop there though. He tried to tell Holic chemo NEVER works and that cancer can be CURED with a dewormer he researched on Facebook.  Just no need for that junk.

That's where he went off the rails and why people are probably telling him to keep his ideas to himself. It's clear Holic and his wife have gone with what the people who actually know what they're talking about have advised them on. If the vets are that optimistic,, I would make the same decision to go with the chemo.

To Holic,, I will be sending you some money soon as I get paid. I don't post much but I've been reading this board every day since it started in 2015. You've done so much to keep this community together and make this the best NFL boards around,, I hope everyone who has the ability to help does. It would be really cool if the community paid for Roman's chemo. We can make Roman the board's mascot!

Best of luck with everything and hope Roman gets a whole lot more good days!!!
