Help Chopper Fight Cancer - Chemotherapy Treatment
Donation protected
Chopper is my 7 year old French Bulldog and devoted companion. On 2/28/19 Chopper had a High Grade II Mast Cell Tumor surgically removed from his chest.
The results from the biopsy were alarming - he had a Mitotic Index of 10 and any index above 5 indicates the aggressive cancer cells will rapidly spread to sites such as the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes.
After hours of research and validation from multiple Doctors, if I did not seek treatment Chopper would have a life expectancy of 1 to 4 months. Chops has always been healthy and is a fighter so I knew I could not give up on my best friend.
Today (3/19/19) he successfully completed his first session of Vinblastine Chemotherapy. The ultrasound and X-ray did not show any evidence of metastatic disease therefore we do not believe it has spread.
Chopper will need to continue weekly Chemotherapy treatment for the next 5 weeks. Each individual session is $700+ and the overall estimated vet costs will range between $6,000-$8,000.
I am hopeful that Chops will continue living a long life after treatment and any contributions to his fight is immensely appreciated.
Thank you!!
