What's this?

Ugh sorry dude. Our last 2 dogs had lung and brain cancer. Awful.

and I'm going through tough times with one of my pups right now. Despite taking 11 pills, liquid fish oil, Dasuquin treats and CBD oils daily, plus laser therapy and acupuncture, Prednisone is the only thing that I can say for sure is working. When we skip one of those, we know.

Quality of life is the term thrown around every time something like this comes up. Is 10-12 months with chemo going to be miserable vs 3-4 decent with prednisone?
