Help Max Fight Stage 3 Lymphoma

Exactly two weeks ago today, our best friend in the whole world…Max aka Maxie…was diagnosed with stage 3 B-cell lymphoma, after a trip to the vet ER. To say we are devastated is an understatement. He just turned 7 in January and still acts very much like a puppy. He’s never been hurt or sick in his entire 7 years on this earth. We took him to a vet oncologist this past Monday and she put a plan together for chemotherapy. It will consist of 5 treatments spread three weeks apart so ending in August most likely. Unfortunately, there is no oncologist in Fresno that can treat him so we will have to travel to San Jose to do it each time.

This entire treatment, plus travel expenses is going to be very costly for us (around $6,000) and I’m trying my best to make it work somehow. I’ve even started working some overtime at my job, tutoring. Max has been a constant support and “therapy” dog for us through so much tragedy, grief and painful things we’ve gone through as a family in the past 7 years. We owe it to him to try to give him some more life with us. We’ve been told that he will go into remission quickly and 90% chance of 1-2 good years more with him before he falls out of remission and we look at a second round.

We’ve started this fund in case anyone feels they can and want to help Maxie out. We appreciate any help and ALL the prayers and love. Please share this if you can. Thank you!!!
