It might be worth trying the chemo? There are herbal supplements anti-nausea drugs and things which can help greatly with any possible side effects.
thanks for your kind words. we see an oncologist tomorrow. that's cool about your mom. yay. as far as abby's tumor, he couldn't get every bit of it ..... but we will blast those evil, remaining cancer cells with immunity enhancing supplements and whatever course of chemo we decide on. ggrrrrr....
PS....my mother had the nastiest evillest-looking breast cancer you've ever seen! She got the breast taken off, a little radiotherapy, and it NEVER CAME BACK! So that can happen.
Hey, good luck to your dog. With all the love and care you're giving her, she'll be happy, and you know, that counts for a lot. I don't know about the cancer on her leg, and why there were no platelets in the mass. I'm not sure about that kind of thing and have no experience, But you got the cancer taken off so that gives her a brilliant fighting-chance. It may have been excised really well, and not have spread. Just keep on giving her the best healthy diet you can find, and lots of love and fun, and I bet she has a lot more time with you yet!
