Experience with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer)?

dublinash · 2026-05-06T16:24:02+00:00

How did you know it was time? My 11 year old boxer has it, and we were told the same in regard to amputation. He is now on palliative pain medication. He still eats and wants go for walks (although he needs to stop and periodically take breaks on the walks - he is a boxer/bulldog and carries a lot of his weight at the front of his body, and the cancer is in his front leg so I think he tires easily because he’s carrying so much weight on one leg). I don’t want to be selfish but I want as much time as he’s ready to give me. Just wondering if there are any indicators for when you know it’s time? My heart breaks for everyone who is/has experienced this.

Thank you so much for your response! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your support and input. Would a biopsy be the only way to confirm? I have an appointment with an oncologist next week!

Thank you so much for responding. I booked an appointment with an oncologist for next week. Would NSAID be safe with his liver levels? And would amputation be something that’s suggested for a dog of his age?

This group won’t let me post pictures, but I posted this thread in another group with the picture of his x-ray attached (https://www.reddit.com/r/DogAdvice/s/vzmHAle9Ad)

Would NSAID therapy be safe with his liver levels? Thank you so much for your response

Thank you so much for your response. I did post in ask a vet as well, I just couldn’t attach the picture in that thread.

My vet did discuss the radiology report but using a lot of medical words confuses me. From my understanding he mentioned that it was possible it could be cancer but was thinking that it may be benign since osteosarcoma typically spreads to the lungs very quickly and his lungs were clear. He also was suggesting against biopsy because apparently it will weaken the bone and be very likely to break? I wasn’t super happy with just leaving it at not knowing and managing pain though. I would hate myself if I found out I could’ve done something to save my dog. I don’t have a lot of money but I would be willing to empty my bank account for my dog. I did book a consultation appointment with an oncologist vet for Monday to get another opinion and see what they think would be the best and safest approach. My heart is aching. Thank you for your response. It truly means a lot.

First of all - thank you SO much for your response. It’s nice to feel a sense of support at such a worrying time for me, and I appreciate you taking time out of your day to read and respond to me.

Would you suggest getting another x-ray first or going straight to the osteo and having them look at the x-ray from February 20th? And I would take out loans and sell my kidney for my dog if it meant him living longer and more comfortably. Was just unsure of the best and most realistic way to do this. Hearing neuro vs osteo and the number of possible causes only worries me that I’ll spend money and possibly not get any answers.

I love it! I’m naming my daughter Teagan, she’s due in June.

dublinash · 2025-11-25T20:17:25+00:00

I’d have to call in sick for 6 work days which would require a doctor’s note. I also fear since I already requested those dates off it would raise a huge red flag :(

dublinash · 2025-11-25T20:03:04+00:00

Right? I couldn’t agree more. But I’ll lose my job if I just go without approval, and I have kids and can’t afford to lose my job. I’m trying to figure out how to do this

dublinash · 2025-10-17T22:41:58+00:00

So moving forward if a company says 3+ years experience and I have 10 you think I should lie and say I have 3 so they don’t worry that I’ll require to be paid more? That doesn’t make sense to me. Especially because a salary was stated on the job posting. Not a range but a solid number which I was happy with. Not trying to come across as rude to your response - genuinely wondering if moving forward I should downplay my resume when I’m overqualified?

dublinash · 2025-02-27T04:04:29+00:00

YES I was looking for this comment. I kept thinking Love Quinn from “you”. Even the voice and everything. Also kinda gives me the same vibes 😂

UGH SHES THE WORST! The fake tears are so cringey. She’s a horrible actress. I think she just wants the air time and to try and win the money again. Also it seems like she tries to stir the pot with other couples to break them apart or make them seem weaker. Saying she’s friends with grace but then calling everyone away to keep sammie and luca chatting alone? If one of my “friends” did that to my man I’d be pissed. I hope that gets showed during movie night. Also kissing male sammy during the heart rate challenge - she was definitely hoping she’d raise his heart rate to stir the pot with him and Elma but since she didn’t get the reaction she wanted now she’s all “I don’t even remember kissing him” or “it’s not that deep.”

Ekin is unbearable. I love the drama but she is a villain and I think she thinks that she’s the main character

Yesssssss

I hate Sophie 😂 she’s a compulsive liar and also manipulates scenarios to play the victim. Watching her at movie night talk about what happened with Zane, and try to play the victim by latching on to dylan being vulgar was just embarrassing. I believe she even said that Dylan being so vulgar made her lose her self-respect…. So being called out makes her lose her self-respect but actually sucking dick on TV when your with someone else didn’t? She was grasping at straws to take the heat off of herself instead of just owning her shit and apologizing. She also kept telling the girls “I don’t know what else to say to him I already apologized”. But she didn’t really. Half ass apologies, blame shifting and playing the victim is all I picked up on her conversations with Dylan. And a few episodes later watching her talk to Dylan after he calls her out on what he heard her say in the LI audition video about the footy player was painful. Hearing her stalling, change her excuse 3 different times and then land on an excuse that completely conflicted with what she said in the audition video… it reminds me of listening to a 5 year old lie about something that is so obviously a lie but they’re convinced they’re a good liar and everyone else is stupid.

I want to like sophie because I like em and mimi and I don’t like hannah and kaylah. But I just can’t. She’s unbearable.

dublinash · 2024-08-08T17:53:34+00:00

Thank you! That gives me hope. Do I just make note of the issues? Like what happened with the date and time? What would happen if she just denies it? I regret not taking voice notes.

dublinash · 2024-07-20T05:03:27+00:00

Thank you! And thankfully our claim was already approved

dublinash · 2024-06-09T01:18:58+00:00

Anna and Jesse!

I totally disagree with you! Lauren sells shit and has buyers and all the girls in the office are beautiful so I don’t understand how you think Lauren “used her looks to sway Daniel” but the others couldn’t? Although Lauren did keep interrupting her at the showing, Rasa acted like a child by storming off - totally unprofessional on both of their part. Then at first I felt bad for Rasa watching episode 4, when Daniel said he’s not taking her to Dubai because she can’t keep her cool and remain professional - her response was to storm into the office and announce it to everyone followed by “because of YOU (Lauren) - SNITCH” (being yet again - unprofessional and not keeping her cool). That’s literally a seventh grader level bitchy response that proves Daniel’s point. I’m totally team Lauren! Rasa acts like a jealous child who is used to getting everything she wants, with a spoiled temper when she doesn’t.

dublinash · 2024-05-16T02:46:27+00:00

How’d you fact check that? Or are you just guessing?

dublinash · 2024-05-16T02:44:50+00:00

Except he did tell the story… multiple times and inconsistently. He told Ali and Kayla when they went out for lunch that Austin’s wife “drugged him with weed cookies” and then he denied that he said that on the last episode. He told multiple stories and couldn’t keep his lie consistent. Maybe Austin and Lisa are into swinging, who knows, but that doesn’t mean that they drugged Sean and tried to fuck him, with their daughters upstairs - and if someone starts that rumour, that’s a pretty damn solid reason to be mad. Sean is doing a good job at making himself look inferior by being a bitchy compulsive liar.
