Pet Parent 1:
Sammy was born in San Jose, in July 2009. When I saw her, she was the only pup in the litter, that was very investigated, she was very curious about everything. And so I took her home. Her favorite thing was certainly food. She's very food motivated. So Sammy goes to the vet regularly, she has some allergies on her skin. One trip to the vet, standard trip, check up, the doctor felt her lymph nodes, and just felt her lymph nodes and thought they were very large. She did a test, and found out there were some cancer cells in the sample.
Pet Parent 1:
We should expect to think about what Sammy likes to do within the next two months. So I found out about FidoCure from my husband, who has some friends that knew about FidoCure, and what FidoCure was doing. He did all the research, reached out to his connections, and his friends. After my husband got established with FidoCure, it was pretty nice, it was very easy to talk with them. FidoCure was very communicative. We agreed to let FidoCure direct us in Sammy's chemotherapy, about a month after she was diagnosed with pretty severe lung cancer.
Pet Parent 2:
Sammy had been on chlorambucil, which is the standard of care for lymphoma, and she tolerated it very well. So FidoCure identified two new medicines that would help with the adenocarcinoma. And, we tried taking them. We let her try taking them directly. It was a once a day pill, and she tolerated all three of them very, very well. It never really made her sick.
Pet Parent 2:
I think that, if you are going to fight for your dog's life, and try and figure out what can be done beyond the conventional decisions of oncologists. Because very, very few drugs have been tested on dogs. My advice would be to vigorously pursue... Like you think something is wrong, get it looked at, get on the treatment. If you wait a month, it'll progress that much further before treatment begins. And if I have any regrets, it's simply that I didn't push harder to get it done sooner.
Pet Parent 1:
We got to have Thanksgiving with her, Christmas, New Year's, Lunar New Year. And, we couldn't have had that without the medicine that FidoCure suggested we try on her. She was really well taken care of, and we have eight months of awesome life to show for it. We got a chance to do many things in those eight months with her, eight extra months.
