RE: now my other dog has cancer!

[Hideyo Yamamoto]

Dear Barbara, I am so sorry to hear about your doggy, Frasier. Before you go, I would like you to read the book suggested by Sally, which I also happen to love. By Dr. Martin Goldstein – I think that book is called “natural healing of animals or something – but anyway, he spends a significant section on cancer treatment for dogs – and he has a very successful result from his treatment (holistic treatment) – it’s a different approach from traditional approach of “removing cancer” – as he believes that “cancer” is only a symptom of the real problem – his treatment focuses on eliminating the real problem, even if you remove the cancer, if you don’t take care of real problem, the cancer will come back, and sometimes bigger – in his treatment, cancer is no longer death sentence – I was very encouraged to read the whole approach and success result – he has a clinic in NY called smith ridge – and he does a phone consultation. Again it might not be something that you are interested in – but I needed to share this information, because if my dog got a cancer, he is one of the very first one that I would contact – I am sending you the link to his website just in case.   I will pray for Frasier –   Love and hugs to you and Frasier   http://www.smithridge.com   Hideyo     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Barbara Lowe Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 5:16 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: OT:now my other dog has cancer!   Hi You all will stay in my thoughts and your furbabies in my prayers but right now I have to go to no mail and concentrate on my dog Frasier. I took him in for heartworm testing and the vet noticed a small growth on his side. the bad news is mast cell tumor the good news is it is not on a bone. we are awaiting blood work results before operating. he believes he will be able to get "deep margins" around the tumor so it will not spread. Frasier is 11-12-13-who knows exactly-he was a pound rescue who was my dog Maddy's best friend for a decade before she passed last summer from her cancer. she was cancer free for 8 yrs after a mast cell tumor on a bone in her back leg. i am so mad. I give him supplements, premium food yet too many morons here on Long Island get those hideous chemicals on their lawns so the stupid things will look green. oh well, off to join the caninecancer group again. damn. Good luck to you all and please pet your kitties for me.hopefully I will be back soon if only to lurk. so far clancy my only positive left has been fine--knock on wood! Wish you all many years with your furgangs. regards Barbara
