The Maitake mushroom literally helps protect the cells -- all you have to do is tell a regular oncologist that it is a "polysaccharide" and they GET IT.

This stuff is simply awesome, I'll even go so far as to say miraculous. If you do decide to do the chemo route, I would highly recommend putting Maxine on this. Many human cancer patients who take this see positive results.

I'll be thinking of you and Maxine...stay strong; take care of yourself too.

Feeling a little better today (me that is). Being at work hearing the news, all I wanted to do is go home and be with Max. I got home and she was all happy and bouncy to see me. I needed that!!!! She is so very special. Thank you all for your thoughts. I know I will have TONS of questions, right now I don't know what they are.

We head up north today for some needed r&r, our dogs will have a busy full few days. Then when we get back we will see what is up.

I know you all know but I must say....THIS JUST SUCKS!

I talked to you on the phone but wanted to share some support here too. I know it sucks to look at the future, but she is happy and doesn't show any discomfort now. That is important to remember and not over look.

Dang I'm sorry -- and I think you're right. When it's involved in the mouth like that surgery just isn't great.

However -- IF this is responsive to chemo please don't just dismiss it out of hand. When Muffin the Intrepid had chemo that's when I discovered how AWESOME the TCVM was to augment the chemo and **pretty well completely** disarm side effects.

He was NOT nauseus. He did NOT lose his coat. He did NOT suffer from chemo at all. There was a chinese herb he took 4-5 days before chemo and then 4-5 days after -- no diarreha, no nausea. The Maitake mushroom literally helps protect the cells -- all you have to do is tell a regular oncologist that it is a "polysaccharide" and they GET IT.

A cancer diet -- it may take a bit of adapting but man, it helps slow the cancer down SO much. Muffin's quality of life stayed SO high I was amazed.

Holler, Ann, if I can help.

That just sucks! Poor Maxine. Poor you. I know you are devastated and I wish I had something inspirational to say to you. I hope a virtual (((((HUG))) will help.

My dog was diagnosed in March. I've been a mess but Kobi has taken it all in stride. It's hard to know exactly what to do or what not to do. I know you will do what is the best for Maxine. Prayers for your friend.
