Hello Lena, need some advice… I decided to skip the Palladia and go the natural route with Lola. There were too many uncertainties and I don’t want to experiment with Lola. I have started Lola on vegetables and ordered the below herbs you recommended… can she take all of these together? Also, are there any side effects to the herbs? thanks for any guidance.

Herbs I bought:

Sanshedan Chuanbeiae

Artemisinin

Xiao Chai Hu Tang

Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang

Lena, I confirmed that she now has mets on the lungs there are 5 small spots. Her oncologist yeserday reccomended the use of Palladia. I know Palladia is for mast cell tumnors and I’m not sure if I should try this or not with the Osteosarcoma. All of her bloodwork came back good so they say we can try but I feel as if it prob won’t work. Right now she is so lively and vibrant and i hate to ruin her spirit and make her sick for no reason. Any help would be appreciated. Are you familair at al with Palladia? thanks

Thanks so much, this helps.. she ate everything I gave after I wrapped it in turkey lol. I am going to try cooking the sweet potatoes and mushrooms but she seemed to like the broocoli raw.. thanks so much. I want to do all I can to help her naturally and holistically while she is so healthy and full of energy.. I also ordered that snake medicine (forgot the name) in the vials that you mention. I will also be reaching out to an acupuncturist. Will let you know after Monday thanks!

Thanks so much Lena, it turns out unfortunately they were lung mets. I am devastated but made an appt with a vet oncologist for a 2nd opinion on Monday. I also am taking steps that you mention in your diet section to feed her more natural/antioxidant type foods. I have one question.. I bought some broccoli, sweet potatoes and mushrooms. Lola is on no chemo right now or any meds besides hypothyroid meds. Can I feed these veggies to her raw or must they be cooked? I always heard it’s better to eat them raw b/c you get the most vitamins etc. Thanks

Hello Lena, my boxer Lola was diagnosed with stage 1 osteosarcoma in her lower jaw back in June of this year. Before we did anything her oncologist recommended that she do a chest x ray to check for spread and also a cat scan of the jaw to see where to direct the surgery. She said the chest x ray showed no spread of the cancer so removal of half of the lower jaw would be the best fit.

I did that and when Lola got out, she said that they got it all out, the margins were clean and there was no need for chemo. I was very worried about not doing chemo but she said that her and a group of 4 other doctors all felt the same. She got an infection about 2 months later and had to be rushed in where they treated her with a strong dose of antibiotic etc. She recovered and has been fine since, eating well, drinking, full of energy and life.

The Dr did no follow up with any blood-work, a chest x ray or bone scan as it’s mentioned on so may sites. This has a high incidence of spread and I am shocked by her lack of follow up with such a serious cancer. She said see you in 6 months for a chest x ray just to be sure, so that;s what I did. I took her in last night for her 6 month follow up and had a chest x ray done. The dr said her lymph nodes felt good and were not swollen and the surgery site looked wonderful. She came out from the chest x ray and sai there were 3 concerning spots on her lungs. I immediately froze and said but you told me not to do the chemo. She said I would have made the same decision based on what we knew of the tumor then. I am getting the official results from the radiologist today but I know it’s metastasis.

She said it could be age spots but that’s highly unlikely I feel. I am unsure what to do at this point. She is 8 yrs old and health otherwise except for hypothyroidism which she takes a pill for. She also said that the chemo would not work at this point but that there are other ‘therapies’ available to shrink it. I feel she should have done the chemo back then but she insisted there was no reason to put her through it.

My question is what do I do now? get a 2nd opinion if it did mets or start your 2 drugs mentioned or both? Also possibly acupuncture? I just want to save my baby.

I’m referring to the : Artemisinin and Sanshedan Chuanbeiye

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Adrienne and Lola
