Hi, everyone. I'm new to this forum. Just looking for a little advice or encouragement for my cocker. I have an 11-year-old cocker named Monty who has hemangiosarcoma. He was diagnosed last week after having his spleen removed which had a softball-sized tumor. No other visible tumors were seen but the pathology report indicated hemangiosarcoma so I was told to assume it's spreading. We were given a life expectancy of 3 months without chemo and 4-6 months with chemo. We are opting not to do chemo but are instead doing a cancer diet with many herbal supplements and acupuncture. We are currently 9 days post-op and Monty is doing great. He has energy, eats a lot and is in good spirits. Are other people going through this or have gone through it? We're taking it day by day but would love to communicate with anyone about this. Monty is my husband's and my first dog and we're devastated and not sure what to do next.
