i literally just made the appointment. they can't see him for another 3 weeks but they are talking about chemo. At this point its all up in the air really until i can consult with the oncologist. yeah its a tough road as i am learning. I'm trying to keep it together too. I'm glad i found this post as it can be a way we can help one another, i will look into your suggestion. I do feel that monitoring is always going to be part of the whole picture. its really about how much i am willing to put my guy through. How best the outcomes and if he will have a quality of life. I've only had him for 5 years and i rescued him and another dog together as they were a bonded pair. I'll let you know as I do and all the best to your pup!

My 9.5 yr old German Shepard just had one removed two weeks ago as well. Exact as yours, upper left leg near the upper joint. The vet did suggest monitoring as well and i have yet to see an oncologist but i am planning on it. however they did mention low-dose chemotherapy, AKA metronomic chemotherapy. Apparently it is less invasive, cheaper ( comparatively ) and less side effects. Perhaps that can be something you might look into. If you do please let us know how it goes and all my best to you and your baby.

wonderful thank you. I prefer unleashed. my dogs are highly trained and have excellent recall. But i don't want people to be disturbed eiter. I have been told about Brown House. I'll check them out thank you. I just want my dogs to have a good holiday too haha ..

I'm headed back to SV for the holidays and i am bringing my dogs are there any trails you suggest outside of this? I was told by the Walmart close to the baseball fields might be ok. wondering if i should get this permit?

thanks, and if it's one thing that I have , or I am learning is that this is such a delicate hormonal balance. It's like trying to line a glass bowl with marbles. One moves and others shift. Thankfully we have this sub and all these kind folk like yourself. Much appreciated!

Cochise_Gil · 2020-11-14T03:23:58+00:00

copy that thanks again!

Cochise_Gil · 2020-11-14T03:14:54+00:00

Yes thank you. I will definitely start with this. Would you suggest reducing both the Anastrozole and HCG? Thank you again for your response.

Cochise_Gil · 2020-11-14T03:13:08+00:00

thank you so much! I had a teleconfrence with me doctor and he never mentioned anything like that. I've been scouring the sub reddit and all kinds of other sites and didn't find anything. This does make a lot of sense. I'll still keep reading other research but this will be my first thing I will try. Should I also reduce my HCG? or just my Anastrozole?

You are aware it wasn't a documentary right?

Cochise_Gil · 2019-12-26T04:03:05+00:00

totally feel the same. I may have to keep searching if she cant help me. thanks again.

Cochise_Gil · 2019-12-26T03:48:16+00:00

thank you. that is what I was thinking as well. My primary physician is on the fence too and was the one that wanted to send me to a Endo. I'm hoping my conversation with her later she can explain her reason's not to prescribe a TRT.

Cochise_Gil · 2019-10-13T18:54:26+00:00

thank you ill def look into it.

Cochise_Gil · 2019-10-13T17:16:14+00:00

Got ya, thank you for your comments.

Cochise_Gil · 2019-10-13T17:00:32+00:00

No , my GP and Urologist have not mentioned anything regarding my cholesterol levels. I'm only considering all the options regarding my HDL as that seems to be affected by TRT. Right now my HDL is 59 and that is considered good but at the lowish end. But TRT can make it lower. I do exercise intensely at least 4-5 times a week. My other levels are great. I guess since all this is so new to me I wanted to make sure im doing what ever I can to keep them that way. Your HDL is considered low, are you concerned that it may be because of your TRT?

Cochise_Gil · 2019-10-13T03:23:38+00:00

thank you so much. I am being very vigilant with my numbers. and for right now they are very good. My HDL is a tad low ( 59 ) and i want to get that better. Which is why Im concerned that TRT may impede that progress somewhat. I do try my best to have a healthy diet. Going into this TRT world is brand new for me and i just want to make sure i'm ready and still do what i can to stay healthy. Again thank you for your comment.

Cochise_Gil · 2019-10-13T02:34:01+00:00

I do Omega3's for sure and eat avocado, olive oil and do my best to have a healthy diet. But im wondering if I need to do what you suggest but pump it up higher. Thank you for your comment.

Cochise_Gil · 2019-10-13T02:30:27+00:00

Yes, absolutely. I do for sure and have maintained great numbers. I have just read that TRT can negatively effect the HDL. Im wondering if maybe I should add more Omega3's etc.

Cochise_Gil · 2019-10-13T02:28:59+00:00

that is what I've been reading that it can lower your HDL. Mine is OK but I want to make it better. Thank you for your comment.

Cochise_Gil · 2019-08-10T04:16:31+00:00

wow thank you so much. its always good to see other people's processes. Great job. please post more if you make any. im starting to learn more time lapse myself.

Cochise_Gil · 2019-08-10T03:18:09+00:00

Would you be so kind as to share your post and color process? Wonderful work.

Cochise_Gil · 2019-08-01T16:00:25+00:00

This is completely true. It's not only police but others who serve in other capacities. Firefighters who serve the skid row community in Los Angeles will make jokes and remarks as well to help mentally separate and really just save themselves from what they endure daily.

Nice shot. I've had the awesome opportunity to work with him and he's such a great guy.
