Thank you @rachel for your reply. We should be able to get her 12-18 months with the 5 treatments, and I've read even longer is possible. There hasn't been enough research and they often don't know why the dogs ultimately die from. I read a study about it and there was overall 2 year survival of 74% but disease specific survival was 97%. I'm going to be asking the vet if my understanding is correct and if they will be using similar method. I believe this is where he is getting the 24 months from....6 more than the 5 tx method. I am concerned about the extra anasthesia for the extra life expectancy and I'm trying to learn more about that potential risk and whether I really should be concerned about it. Hubby isn't worried about the money, we arent extravagant in other ways, such as travel. Thank you again, it is helpful to see points of view because I have over analyzed and am completely indecisive right now.. |
