I too was told by my vet in December that my dog probably only had a couple of weeks of life left. The pathology result showed her cancer to be 'highly malignant'. We saw an oncologist within two days and though the pressure for surgery followed by chemo was intense I just kept saying NO, I will not go down that path. They wanted to surgically remove her mandible. My research shows that by the time osteo is diagnosed it has probably already metastasised so I couldn't see the point in putting her through the pain of such a radical surgery.

Sophie is still doing well on the metronomic drug protocol. She has strong pain relief and she shows no sign of pain. Her appetite is good and she's actually gaining weight on the cancer starving diet. She does have difficulty in eating meals sometimes so I spoon feed her. She is quite adept at eating from a spoon.
