Jeanine-

I don't know where you are located, but Texas a & m has a tomotherapy unit that delivers precise radiation. Wisconsin also has a unit, and these are the only two vet facilities in the nation with this treatment modality. Texas A & M can be contacted at

to discuss treatment options with our oncologist and I'm sure Wisconsin will do the same if its closer to you. Best wishes.

Hello,

I hope that this post is not deemed inappropriate and apologize in advance if it is. It is personal in nature and I will leave it to the moderators to determine if they will allow it to be posted.

My 7 year old mini dachshund, Rosie, was just diagnosed with thyroid cancer. It is inoperable. We are currently pursuing all possible treatment options including radioiodide treatments, and radiation treatments

as well as holistic treatments as an adjunct.

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on any universities or specific clinics, doctors, that they would recommend for treating thyroid cancer with/without radioiodide treatments? We are willing to travel to find the best

care for her.

Please feel free to contact me offline at

jeaninefreeberg@... for any recommendations. Again, I apologize if anyone feels it was not approrpiate to post this on the rehab chat group. I'm just trying to come up with the best plan for her and I just couldn't think of a better place for collective

veterinary wisdom and recommendations.

Thank you,

Jeanine Freeberg, PT, DPT, C/NDT

P.S. In light of recent events, it makes me realize all the more how remarkable it is that there are so many talented and dedicated people committed to bettering animals' lives. I know that we all have things to share, and things to

learn, and I'm thankful that there are so many different backgrounds that are coming together to enhance the well being of animals through rehabilitation.

Thank you so much for the information. I truly appreciate it. We live in Chicago, but we are willing to travel to wherever will be best for Rosie. I had a former co-worker who just graduated from WI tell me about their tomotherapy unit as well. She said they just got it about one year ago. Do you know how long Texas A & M has had theirs?

Thanks again for reachinig out to me. I can't thank you enough.
