Dylan and I went off to Newmarket today to see our oncologist at the Animal Health Trust. His name is Davide Berlato.
He explained to me that Dylan's soft tissue sarcoma is of intermediate grade and therefore has a 20% risk of spreading. I can't remember all the details (he is sending me a report with all that we have discussed), but the main option of treatment that he suggested was palliative radiotherapy (4 weekly treatments), and another option would be metronomic chemo therapy (daily chemo tablets).
I will have a phone conversation tomorrow with Birgit Ahlemeyer, a holistic vet, to discuss all our options and how to best help Dylan in a holistic way. My absolute main concern is Dylan's quality of life and I am not sacrificing that for the sake of extra time. At the moment Dylan is feeling well, though the tumour is bothering him a little as he does lick it at times.
I am looking forward to discussing things with Birgit tomorrow and then decide on the best way forward for my beautiful boy!
