Re: Nasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Unfortunately, here in the UK we dont seem to have the same advances in certain areas of animal medicine that you have in the U.S. None of what you where offered for Dylan was even an option for me and my beloved boy. I was told that Chemo doesnt work on Nasal SCC, radiation therapy after a consultation i was told was not an option either. Laser Surgery is not used in this part of the UK. Really i wasnt left with any options, i was really left to my own devices. I was told that he had 3 - 4 months my boy lasted 7 months and that was with no real help from the veterinary world. That you have managed to get your boy into a long term remission is unbelievable!!! I only wish that all the options you had, had been available to me, then my boy may still be with me today!! Diagnosed at 8 and gone at 9, is no real age, we were hoping that he was going to be with us until at least 13 or 14. I feel that he was cheated out of his time, by an evil, nasty disease, which is made all the worse, when it is actually visable and you can see it growing day by day and know there is nothing any professional can do to help you!
