Hits me at a bad time because I'm running a fundraiser for a girl that lost everything in a fire presently and all my extra money just went to that cause.

Yet if I come across any extra cash soon, will certainly donate to your family to help the dog. Love dogs.

But would certainly investigate this medicine folks are saying, per they are claiming it cures in lieu of just buying time. However I know nothing about it so can not really weigh in on that at this time.  

To Leon, you gave your opinion on this matter and now are just being redundant at a sensitive time. Not all people are as used to losing animals as a farmer may be, and certainly they become our family members. No reply is necessary.

Once again prayers and good vibes.

WTS, the study I saw was for lung cancer too, but it appears it kills the cancer cells for lung cancer so maybe it can kill other cancers as well.

Obviously, Holic and wife have chosen to go a different route, but nothing wrong with someone suggesting Plan B.

WTS, this needs to go to Klotsch. Perhaps change it to a thread pointing to Klotsch as issues such as this can create animosity.

Boy those bills run up.  Spent close to $7000 on the previous one.  Have you looked into care credit?

Two options; donate or STFU.

P.S. i will be deleting any comments not regarding the topic as soon as Leon shuts up or someone shuts him up.

That's a decision Holic and his wife have made.

No one wants to let their pet go...but the owner needs to decide when it's time.

If they don't feel it's time yet, then that's up to them.

My wife and I found out one of our dogs in January 2022 (two days after the Bengals beat the Titans in the playoffs actually) had carcinoma cancer.
The vet said it wasn't curable or removable, but we could try some different chemo options to try to prolong my dog's life.
The chemo's goal was to slow the growth as much as possible, as there was no way to remove it.
Had we not tried, the vet's prognosis was probably just a few weeks to live.
We made the decision to try the chemo route, and it prolonged his life by just over 6 months, but it was not cheap.

At the end of it all, my wife and I felt we made the right decision, as my dog was able to act normal for pretty much every remaining day he had and he got to live (much) longer than had we not made that decision. If you try to equate that 6 months to dog years, he essentially got another 3-4 years of life.

Holic - I just donated to ya, bud. Hope your family gets to spend as much time with Roman as possible. Feel free to message me directly if you wanna talk about any of this, as I just went through this a year ago.

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.
