This past fall, my St.Bernard/Golden Retriever, 4 year old doggie was diagnosed with Lymphoma. I had him on about 3 months of chemo, and he was doing very well on it, but decided to take him off of it to go a holistic approach. The chemo just seemed too traumatic of an approach. I tried a couple holistic approaches, but am thinking I might not have given any one of them a really whole-hearted approach. And now I’m kicking myself because his lymph nodes are enlarged, and looks like I absolutely have to put him back on the chemo.
I’m going to do both chemo and holistic, it looks like. If anyone has any sure fire holistic approaches that they recommend, please let me know. For some reason, this whole thing is difficult for me to confront…. Especially the chemo aspect. I’m just in denial that there’s anything wrong with him.
Aside from enlarged lymph nodes, he is exceedingly healthy, lively, playful and full of life. I think it would be helpful to have some sort of reassurance that certain approaches really do help and that I’m doing the right thing. I feel a little overwhelmed and really don’t know if any of what I’ve done was the right thing or not. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
