So here i have 4 dogs, the mother & her 3 children. All with Mast cell cancers. I have been anxiously awaiting the release of Palladia. Though now the cost is prohibitive. I have tried natural herbs. They eat better than me. I feel so at wits end. Here I know Palladia would cure this cancer in all 4 of them. Yet with now facing first the surgery to remove more of them. That will cost easily a thousand. I should be the poster girl for “life gone to the dogs” yet these dogs are the love of my life! So are there any programs to help for one woman with 4 gorgeous curable dogs?

Hemangioacoma and Mast cell is the type of cancer my babies got. It is of the recurring nature that makes it wonderful there is Palladia.
I have to have more of the flare ups removed. Which is surgery. And very expensive. The emotional factor of all these dogs have never been away from me since they were born, soon to be 10 years old. What a blessing there is a cure though when it’s not affordable it is very painful for me. The person that having devoted my money, time, and all my love into these animals. The mother dog was barely a year old when I rescued her from people throwing rocks at her. Little did I know she was carrying 11 puppies. So the long road began for me. 10’s of thousands of dollars later. I’m deeply in love & in debt as a result.

I don’t know your situation exactly — the type of cancer, how advanced, etc — but have you tried any of the holistic options? Even tried herbal immune boosters?

I am struggling financially to keep my dogs alive. I have had them since they were born. Money should not dictate whether our loved one’s can live or or die. My dogs have cancer which Palladia is a blessing. Cost is prohibitive. 5,000 per dog & I have 4 dogs.
Is this to say only the rich doggies can live & our poor friends suffer. What is wrong with this picture. I have spent all my savings, decades of my life helping animals. Now I need help!
I rescued one dog & she had 11 puppies. The mother dog I still have & 3 of her children. All have cancer that would need asap Palladia. I am at wits end. I love them & will spend my last penny to help them.
