Prostate Cancer

[bbaldwin]

Our 9 yr old Standard Poodle, Monty, was diagnosed with prostatic transitional cell carcinoma in Oct. 2007.  He has had a series of 4 IV chemo treatments with 3.7 mg of Mitoxantrone, the last one on 12/31/07.  He takes 7.5 mg of Promicam, 15 mg of Pepcid and 3000 mg of fish oil daily.  The last ultrasound showed that the tumor had shrunk to 3 X 3.7cm.  Our question is, should he be taking any herbal suppliments or other medications on an on going basis?  If so, what should he be taking?  We have heard that Lymph "A" and Lymph "X" may be helpful but we cannot find any information on them on the Internet.  The plan it to do another ultrasound in March to see what, if anything, is happening with the tumor.  Thank you for any information you can give us.

Hi!

My dog, he's an American Eskimo age 11 just was diagnosed with the same thing as your dog, I am so sad.  How is your dog doing, and did the vet say he should take the pepcid and fish oil?  My vet is going to have my dog on the same meds your dog is on except they didn't mention pepcid.  What symtoms does your dog have now?  And how long did they say he would live.  Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Best of luck to you.

You should cut and paste your question in the "ask a vet" forum to get a doctor's answer.  

I am glad that your dog is doing well.  I hope that the good news continues!  Best to you!
