BG, I'm not sure if you've gotten this but was asked to forward it. This request came from the FAIML List >Subject: aggressive fibrosarcoma (sigh) >From: [log in to unmask] >Date: Mon, 26 Jul 1999 16:54:28 -0400 > >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.) > >-Andrea [log in to unmask] (919) 309 - 9288 (messages) [Posted in FML issue 2756]
