After some difficult decisions, we decided last night to move forward with the chemo treatment similar to what Dylan had. I can't locate an oncologist that can do the gel treatment that was described. We were offered surgery to remove half of his nose. My husband and I elected not to do it.

I looked at his nose last night and it appear the soft tissue swelling has exceeded the midline of his nose. After reading several articles, sugery is at most 50/50. Pez is a wonderful dog, and we may have decided to due the surgery if he was younger. He is 11 1/2 years and with a life span of a lab being 12-14 years, I did not want him to lose the greatest sense for a dog. With the chemo we can gauge if it is working. If it is not working or he is not himself, we will stop it and enjoy the time with him.

Keeping my fingers crossed.
