Our sweet, hound Beasley has hemangiosarcoma. His spleen was removed 12 days ago, and we received the diagnosis on Friday. I know the prognosis is poor with this type of cancer, but I'm hoping there are some (at least somewhat) happy endings out there. I've had 2 previous dogs (Shar-Peis) both diagnosed with cancers, and both were gone within days. I was hoping things would be different this time around. This hurts so bad. Beasley was adopted from the pound as a puppy, and has always been in such good health. I feel blindsided by yet another cancer diagnosis. Beasley is 11. Not a puppy, but much too young to leave. <div><br></div><div>Is there any good news out there? Any success dealing with hemangiosarcoma or other cancer? Did something work for you and the hound you love? No matter how unorthodox the treatment, I love to hear. Can anyone speak to chemo, and it's affect on quality of life? My inclination is to not put him through that. I want the days he has to be wonderful.</div><div><br></div><div>I guess I'm looking for hope. Something to help me pull myself together, so I can be there for our boy, and deal with this. I'm just having a really hard time rallying. </div><div>Drool and prayers would be very, very appreciated. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for reading,</div><div>Beasley's mom, Tonya </div> </div></body>
