GOOD NEWS!

GOOD NEWS!! GOOD NEWS!!! As of 10/30/13 LUNGS METS HAVE CLEARED!!!!

So our journey with Bobbo Steins started 8/27/13 when he went in for ACL surgery but was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. He’s only three 🙁 We had chest x-rays done on 8/28/13 and the next day mets were confirmed in his lungs. He was given two months to live. Amputation of his back left leg was done on 8/30/13. Since then we searched out and found the best of the best as far as we’re concerned, Dr. Alice Villalobos at PawSpice in LA. She had a similar situation (snowstorm of lung mets) with a dog named Murph last year. She put Bobbo on the same path of meds since it cleared Murph. She has him on Famotidine (40mg) 1xday, Lomustine (5mg) for four days then a day off, Reglan 10mg 2xday, Masitinib (150mg) 2xday, and T-Cyte injections.

On top of that we have changed his diet to holistic and use K9 Immunity products plus Krill Oil, IP-6, Digestive Enzymes, Astragalus Root, and Agaricus Bio. We’ve been doing CarboPlatin (300mg) on 9/11. 10/9, and on 10/30 dropped the dose and used a new treatment called iTherm with the chemo. We now go once a week through November. This week his ALT test (enzymes in his liver) unfortunately was extremely high so we discontinued the Lomustine for a week. He’s not very hungry so we bought A/D recovery food to kick start his appetitie along with Denamarin plus Immodium. Dr. V always has a solution for everything! So keep your fingers crossed as Bobbo is the second case she has cleared with this combination of meds. We love our boy so much and appreciate every day now. Not today and NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT!!!
