What type of sarcoma? Some sarcomas are treatable, although often treatment only buys time.

I didn't get a lot of info, but what he did say was they had no idea she had it, and it was a large mass...:(

They said she only has a month or two.... is there any homeopathic or other options they may have??? I don't know a thing about this, but would do anything to help someone and their rottie... I hope it is something better than just buying time...:(

Lorhel Try to find out what type of sarcoma. Here is a list of what Kaptain was on.
Sharks Cartilage -Sharks don't get cancer, has been speculated it is because of something in their cartilage.
Antioxidant -I used doctors choice Antioxidant by Enzymatic therapy. I don't remember why, but at the time I researched how much of different minerals were needed and this one fit the bill.
Cats claw -another anti-cancer agent
Astragalus, IP-6, and Saventaro -all 3 for immune function.
Phytopharmica's ThistleRex andThymuril -both sent to me by a natural vet I contacted in fairbanks.
Boswellia-Reduces inflamation and helps with lung funtion-important especially as the cancer moves into the lungs. (it may be there even if it does not show up on an X-ray, just small).
Also she should probably be on prednizone. (ask the vet)
I also fed something like the barf diets, but cooked as an animal with a compromised immune system should not be fed raw.
Goldsteins book "the nature of animal healing" was an excellent resource.
And no vaccines!
All the supplements are for humans and can be purchased at a health food store.
I am sorry that your neighbor is having to deal with this awful disease. I hope this helps a little.
