hey, guys. as some of you may remember, i've asked for help to afford my dog's treatment about a month ago, believing he had a bacterial infection on his mouth. unfortunately, that turned out to be a misdiagnosis, which we found out due to several exams we had to take in preparation for the procedure (an ultrasound, which led to some appointments with an oncologist, a cytology and, finally, a PARR test). these results took way too long to come back, which made for a pretty stressful month, but now we know for sure: freddy has cancer, most likely a b-cell immunophenotype lymphoma.
now, i'm going to take him back to see the oncologist as soon as possible, and the next step will be to start chemotherapy (though what type, i still don't know). he's otherwise still well and acting like himself, and from what i've been told, he could have over a year of survival, if all goes well. knowing he's on limited time breaks my heart, but i just want to him to be alright while he can.
so if you're able, i'd really appreciate a donation to help me out on this, or just sharing this post. i heard chemo is around 300 per month, at least, and i'm trying to adjust to that new expense, but it will be difficult, especially at the start (right now, i just have enough to afford his oncologist, not the treatment itself), and we do need to start it soon, for his benefit. thank you 🩷
