BG, I'm not sure if you've gotten this but was asked to forward it. This
request came from the FAIML List

>Hi all.
>Well, many of you know I lost my Bean last month to aggressive adeno
>carcinoma. (Actually, the surgery technically is what killed her, but
>she didn't have much time as it was... :-( I miss her.)
>
>Only a week after Bean died, my other female Snoo had surgery to remove an
>orange-sized fibrosarcoma from her abdomen. It wasn't attached to any
>major organs... but it came back a month later, this time resembling a
>large bunch of grapes. We removed it again. The tumor is being sent to
>Williams, but the first pathologist says it's very aggressive and
>malignant... (sigh.) She had adrenal surgery (debulking on the right and
>removal of the left) a year and a half ago, and she's been on Lupron since
>late Feb. I've also got her on some homeopathic meds (Dr Loops lives
>nearby) and shark cartilage, Essiac, vitamin C, Timmy's Tonic, and other
>antioxidants. My traditional vet gives Snoo very little time... perhaps a
>few weeks or months. Does anyone have any suggestions? And has anyone
>seen this before? It has NOT metastisized into any organs at this point...
>I'm hoping somehow it will just kill itself off... the pathology showed it
>was growing so fast that it was cutting off it's own blood supply in
>places. (But that doesn't mean a whole lot.) Ideas? (And can someone
>forward this to the regular FML for me, pretty please, with my email
>intact? I'm not on there anymore due to the volume, but I need all the
>help I can get.)
