Question Details
Osteosarcoma
by Ashe - November 13, 2019
What kind of lifespan are folks seeing after amputation if no chemo is used, just herbs? I had one M/N GSD that lived 2 years before a grapefruit size tumor caused enough coughing and discomfort to call for euthanasia. Oncologist is insistent that w/o chemo prognosis is 3 months.

Hi Ashe,

Their estimate seems low. I always understood that survival following amputation was around six months if no chemo was performed

We don't manage many amputation cases with herbs. Most people seek us out to avoid the surgery, which we feel a responsibility to suggest once more anyway, since results with OSA are all over the map. Not many people do it that come to see us, though.

Our latest case co-managed with Carmine in San Diego is probably into its ninth month but there was no amputation. If you can get a decent response with herbs, then I would look for a year anyway.

I have had some amputations have no tumor recurrence

Steve
