Fighting canine osteosarcoma with stereotactic radiation therapy and immunotherapy.

A therapy dog, Thabiso's name means "Bringer of Joy".
He was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer, but could not get surgery because of existing neurological conditions.
Instead, he received stereotactic radiation therapy and immunotherapy treatment (EGFR/HER2 vaccine).
Thabiso's mom shares the story of their journey with this amazing pup.
This interview was recorded in October 2023

My big Butter Bear is supposed to get a amputation for soft tissue sarcoma he's 65 lb how do you sling up the arm to see if they could walk on three legs this is his front left one Okay I did the sling thing a bit..used a long piece of material but Butter Bear was freaking out was trying to bite us he is like aggressive with when you do things to his body so I think he is strong enough really he's a strong doggie and I think he would be able to walk

Where do you find a board-certified radiologist?

[@TammyTalksActs]

They aresuggestung chest xray before amputation..but not CT scan...why? I hope xray is sufficient.

[@DrunkenDish]

The literature determines the progression based on X-Ray alone. Even if you can see lung metz on CT, nothing changes so long as it's not on Xray. I'm dealing with this nightmare right now.
