My dog needs your help again

Jill, I'm new here, so I didn't hear of your loss also.
My prayers go out to you and your healing.
I'm sooo sorry, some people don't realize it's akin to losing a family member.

Brother I had a dog that had to have a leg removed because of bone cancer. He did well but the cancer came back. And with in a year and a half after the leg surgery I had to let him go. This subject brings a tear to my eye as I type.

You have all my hopes and all my prayers. God bless you and your dog. PM me if you want to talk and I will give you my # I have had to deal with 3 dogs that had cancer

The truth is the cancer did not come back. It started elsewhere and went to the leg. When a dog gets bone cancer the cancer cells have traveled in the bloodstream and then attached to the bone. Removing the leg just buys time. Cancer behaves exactly like this in humans too. My Grandmother had breast cancer and it went to her backbone. There was no saving her.
An honest veterinarian told me this when I thought my Lab had bone cancer. Another was wanting to remove his leg without telling me the facts. (or even knowing for sure it was cancer) Turned out he didn't have bone cancer and the second vet did laser surgery and it was a harmless growth. He went on to live over 3 more years.

This soldier, I realized, must have had friends at home and in his regiment; yet he lay there deserted by all except his dog. I looked on, unmoved, at battles which decided the future of nations. Tearless, I had given orders which brought death to thousands. Yet here I was stirred, profoundly stirred, stirred to tears. And by what? By the grief of one dog.

Napoleon Bonaparte, on finding a dog beside the body of his dead master, licking his face and howling, on a moonlit field after a battle. Napoleon was haunted by this scene until his own death.
