Hello Everyone,
Chances are if you are searching in pet cancer blogs you are probably living a similar nightmare.
In a nutshell: My 11yr old Scottie was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma the first week of September '08. Of course to make that diagnosis the tumor had be removed. He was given 1-3 mo. because the cancer cells had already gone through the intestinal wall and spread to surrounding lymph nodes and worst of all......into his blood stream. Now I don't know where the agressive cancer is lurking.
Although this type of cancer means certain death for my baby boy, I am so glad that my new vet recommended "IP-6". She had seen very good results in the past and was absolutely amazed at how well my Scottie was doing. She is now very confident that he will out live the initial expectations.
I lost my first Scottie in August to heart failure and I know my second will not be far behind due to carcinoma. Given all the grief I have been going through, I felt compelled to post a message that might help other pet owners before it's too late. Like everyone else I know, I never heard of the stuff until my vet suggested it. I was amazed at the info out there on IP-6 and was surprised that it isn't more widely recommended.
IP-6 is not expensive and certainly worth a try in my opinion. I am incredibly grateful that in spite of everything, that I had a vet that knew about IP-6.
Respectfully,
Kelly
