(Mast cell tumor )in March of this year. You can never be prepared for the news of cancer. Much like the news you get when one of your family members tells you they have cancer. Your first response is shock then uncontrollable sobbing, that's me.... Hurley, a Dogue De Bordeaux has been with me since he was 8 weeks old and 10 lbs. He is now a young 7 at 140, well 130 with the cancer. In the last two months Hurley and I have seen the vet, oncologist, changed his food to organic raw ( 4 lbs of meat a day) and then back to the oncologist. He is off and on with a number of medications which includes prednisone. This is suppose to help shrink the tumor. In the start this medication did work but has proven to no longer be effective and the tumor continue to grow. Sadly before any real progress was made my resources were depleted( an this includes my care credit account). It now becomes a choice of how I am going to treat the cancer month by month. Hurley stands a better chance if he undergoes surgery to remove the mast cell tumor along with the infected lymph nodes. If he undergoes surgery the Oncologist gives him a 65% chance to beat this disease. If he received chemo only, it will more then likely come back I have been told in just a matter of months. To date the cancer has not spread to his kidney, liver or blood stream. I love this boy so dearly and the thought of loosing him to cancer is breaking my heart. He has given me 7 amazing years, he is my best friend, my buddy, my furbaby. Words cant explain what a wonderful boy he is. The vets, staff all tell me how well behaved he is and a pleasure to be around. People off the street want to adopt him as well as some of my neighbors ( you know who you are)... My efforts although many do not mount up to the companionship he has given me. Will you please consider helping my best friend beat cancer. No amount is to little, it will all be put towards fighting this awful disease.
Special Thanks to STARFLEET CANINE AID FOUNDATION. They are the first to grant $320.00 to help Hurley fight his cancer. This really means a lot to me. Mickey, who was assisting me through the process was so patient and kind. So thank you again from the bottom of my heart for your generous donation.
