    Lena-

    Thanks for the response. Yes, I understand. I have to see if there is a holistic vet in my area that I could work with. It is a tough decision to make, but if that is the only option of making him feel better and for him to live longer, I may have to go that route. I will keep him up on the herbs and the diet and try to get some acupuncture for him. I appreciate your quick responses and help. I shall keep you posted. Thank you!

    Hi Lena-

    I have just finished speaking to the vet and the vet said that the radiologist diagnosed a bone tumor also known as ostercercoma. The good news is that the radiologist said that there is no evidence in the lungs. So I was told that Boo-Boo will live 3-6 months w/o treatment, 6-9 w/ treatment and a small percentage live a long life. We have to make a decision now as a family. I think we are leaning mostly towards amputation. I know u are a strong suppoter of it. I think w/ amputation and chemo and the herbs it will help him greatly and help him live longer.

    Also I think the herbs and the diet are playing a major part in preventing the cancer to spreading into the lungs. Do you think I should modify anything in his protocol now, knowing this new info?

    Hi Lena,

    So, Last week Boo-Boo went in to see a second vet for another opinion. He did another round of x-rays, this time they were done on his chest. They were sent to a radiologist and I should be getting the phone call tomorrow to see what the results are. I decided to bypass the bone biopsy and go this route.

    I have a few questions concerning herbs and their dosage. For the SanSheDan ChuanBeiYe, I have been giving Boo-Boo two 10ml. bottles, twice a day. He weighs 118lbs. Is this the correct dosage?

    Also I have purchased Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang,but have not started giving it to him. Is this herb safe to give even if he doesnt have lung metastasis? And how does it come into play with the rest of what Im giving him? What would you recommend for his dosage?

    Currently he is on:

    A cancer diet ( meats, liver, veggies, eggs, nordics oil, etc)

    Artemisin

    IP6

    COQ10

    Shiitake Mushrooms

    SanScheDean ChuanBeiye

    Xiao Chai Hu Tang w/ an additional ginseng extract

    I appreciate your thoughts and opinions. Thanks.

    Lena-

    Oh I see. Well, I hope whatever it is, it is treatable and nothing life-threatening. How would I go about having a radiologist look at the xray? Would I do it on my own or through a vet?

    I appreciate the feedback.

    Hi Lena!

    Thanks for the quick response. Yes, I am planning to see what this new vet says. I really don’t want to do the bone biopsy. If this new vet wants to do a bone biopsy as well, then I will send the xray to a radiologist. Its been about ten days since the xray was taken.

    If it is not cancer, what do you think this may be?

    And yes, I already started the cancer diet that you recommended. Of course, he is loving it!

    Thanks again,

    Michelle
