Was referred here by our Vet after xrays show what they were pretty positive was bone cancer. Since we had 2 weeks before our appointment, we did our research and weighed our options based on the information we got from our vet and opted to cancel the appointment because we made the decision we weren t going to treat our 11y/o labs bone cancer. We didn t want to spend thousands on something we knew wasn t a cure and would maybe give us a few more months and we didn t know what his quality of life would be and didn t want to put him through it.

Got a call from my vet today because they called them saying we cancelled and they wanted us to know that it maybe could be a fungal infection (which we also knew was an option) and that test only costs $500, or that how the scan presented it might not be bone cancer but cancer thats metastatic and has spread from elsewhere...regardless didn t appreciate what felt like was being tattled on and pressured to come in and spend money on an 11y/o dog. Cancer or fungal infection, both treatment options are expensive and we just can t justify spending the thousands for tests and treatments.

Felt like they were playing on our emotions and trying to give us a false hope, especially since I said when cancelling the appointment that we ve made our decision and have come to terms with it.
