Guest guest Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I guess I have good timing to join - I saw the post this morning... Bret, pls post the protocol. First and foremost: I don't have any family, not anyone that traditional society sees as " family " . I have 2 soul mates, one has passed on and the other is fighting a spindle cell sarcoma tumor. She has been by my side since she was only 4 weeks old and is now 15 1/2 years young. Her name is Jasmine and she is my 'daughter', she just walks on all four and is covered in fur. I'm scared for my girl. I can tell she is declining mentally and this thing is growing so fast that her limp gets more pronounced each week. I have joined the various groups and have read lots and lots of info and have likely gotten myself confused. Surgery is not an option and I've elected to avoid chemo and rad treatments. Simply lugging her around from appt to appt is suffering in my opinion. However, I can't sit by and watch her die. Her vet does not have experience with alternative therapies but has agreed to provide what guidance he can for whatever therapy I choose. He is also prepared to come to my home when it's time to make the ultimate decision. I am fully aware that her time is limited - I'm not stupid. I'm very blessed to still have her considering all that she's been through. My goal is to prolong her life and cure her of this awful disease. I think big and dream big and why not? I will be thankful if I can stop the progression or even slow it down. Her comfort and happiness are all I care about. Hopefully there are members here that have experience with this type of cancer and treating it in canines. Even if you don't have the specific experience we need, pls reply if you can provide any valuable input. With specific consideration of spindle cell sarcomas, my questions for you are: What is the best treatment protocol? I know everyone is different, but what is your experience? I currently have her on the Budwig diet and Essiac Tea...Should I continue or try something new? These are in order of what I feel might be best for her: Artemisinin Black salve Cesium chloride PawPaw Neoplasene Do you have any experience with any of these? Also, do I feed raw or do I not feed raw? and what do I need to add to her diet (regardless of what I feed)? Many thanks in advance for your input. Teri & Jasmine (For anyone that wishes to spew negativity or a personal opinion about my love for my girl and treating " just a dog " - I would appreciate it if you keep your opinion to yourself. She is not " just a dog " - I would sell my soul to cure her, if even to have only a week of her romping and playing. So far, no buyers.)
