Closing the pet-cancer-care funding gap
In the fall of 2017, I noticed an irregularly shaped mass growing on our dog Sora’s right wrist, just above the scar from the tumor removal a Chilean vet had performed a little over a year prior while we were bicycle touring in South America. We already knew the prognosis. This hungry, aggressive cell was taking over her leg.
Our talented local veterinarian managed to remove the majority of this new tumor, but due to its location and jellyfish-like shape, eliminating all of the spindly fibers tangled amongst her nerves and muscle tissue was impossible. However, the vet said that Sora was a candidate for electrochemotherapy (ECT), a relatively new type of cancer treatment.
