FIBROMYXOSARCOMA KEY POINTS:
- Natural Immunotherapy can prolong the lives of senior dogs battling cancer.
Patient: Bear
Age/Sex/Breed: 13-year-old M/C Retriever
Prior History:
At their previous veterinarian, a Spindle cell tumor was removed from the left flank in 08/2005. The second surgical excision on 10/2007 of a left paralumbar mass was determined to be a Myxoid Nerve Sheath tumor. Numerous widespread SQ masses. Prior blood profiles WNL.
Current History:
Presented at our office for a 3rd opinion on tumor growth. Vital signs were WNL. A large, multi-lobulated mass (4cm X 3 cm) is growing in the left paralumbar area. There were also numerous, widespread SQ masses. There is a long history of ear disease with some hotspots.
Diagnostics: Fibromyxosarcoma
02/05/08 – Blood profile & U/A WNL. Fine needle aspirates of 15 tumor sites were performed. Chest & abdominal x-rays-WNL. All FNAs were either lipomas or sebaceous cysts. The tumor in question was read out as a Spindle cell tumor.
Therapy:
02/05/08 – I started the Veterinary Immune Tabs due to the previous history. We also suggested a consultation with a board-certified surgeon and/or oncologist.
03/28/08 – We surgically removed the tumor in the left paralumbar area. A post-surgical biopsy revealed a fibromyxosarcoma with a low-grade malignancy that did extend to the surgical borders. The surgical site appropriately healed. Again, the owner declined an oncology consult or radiation therapy.
Follow up:
07/14/08 – The left lumbar mass has regrown, measuring 8cm X 4.5cm. At this point, we increased the dose of the Veterinary Immune Tabs and are following the case. Bear is physically in excellent condition. We will continue to follow up on this case and provide updates.
Assessment—In a dog with a history of recurrent ear disease and hotspots, I would have definitely started the Veterinary Immune Tabs years ago. The chronic skin issues suggest to me an underlying immune dysfunction that warrants proactive Natural Immunotherapy. In my experience over the past six years of using this supplement, I’ve seen many situations where we have shrunken and/or markedly slowed the progression of tumors. We also tend to have a very positive effect on patients with recurrent infections and allergies to the skin.
Update:
Bear’s owners were very happy that he could have another 2 years of Quality life while keeping the Fibromyxosarcoma tumor in check with the Veterinary Immune Tabs.
