I have decided to start a blog to follow Hunter's (possible) treatment and how Mr. Hunt is doing. Mostly I am doing this because I feel lost and don't have a clue what I should do. I wish one of the vets would just walk in and say ok, write a check for $X and we will start treatment Monday.
We went to the oncologist yesterday and she gave us three options, tier 1, tier 2 or the take it one day at a time route. Of course all three options came with a price tag but I don't want to put a bounty on my dogs head, I want to do the right thing by him. However, without a time machine and a good psychic there is no way to know what that is.
Do we do the aggresive treatment? The average dog lives 12-18 months with this $5k option. No brainer, lets do it. Or there is the less agressive $2K treatment which doesn't require IV drugs and is a little easier on the system, Hunter is 13 and this should help us get 6-9 more month quality time with him. OK, maybe this is the way to go. Please someone just tell me what to do. I will sell my plasma if it keeps the vet bills paid but someone needs to tell me what to do.
Sorry for the drive by post. I will set up the blog and put more background information up later today.
