Jasper's story

It started with my dog vomiting. He was keeping most food down and felt fine. after trying some different things we decided to do a endoscopy. Vet found a ulcer and there was a slight chance cancer could be in it- it was. after some test it seemed to not spread to any other major organs. The next step was to remove the little part of his stomach where the cancer was but during surgery they found it spread to his stomach wall and lymph nodes. They could of removed 1/2 the stomach but he would most likely have problems and it wouldn't really do much. They ended up closing him up and doing nothing. I really don't know the exact name of the cancer he had- I didn't ask. I was in shock when I got the news. i was also told he can live a month or a year. right now Jasper is keeping his food down and acting fine- honestly you would never know he was so sick. My vet is looking into anything that may slow down the cancer from spreading more- maybe chemo. I also started looking into naturapathic remedies. don't know much about it but figured it can't hurt. Not sure if anyone knows anything about it.
Well thats my story. i am very upset and depressed that my dog has cancer and I will be loosing him soon. Sure anyone with a pet knows how attached you get and how they become family.
best of luck to everyone else whos pet has cancer

Cancer fighting tip from Jasper's owner darlene p.

try to look into everything you can do to cure or slow down the cancer- it can't hurt. Also if you know your pet will die from it- try to save the tears for when their gone. Pets sense when your upset. They need your love and support now. You need to enjoy the time you have left. Its what I'm tryin to do- its not easy but I'm tryin.
