My girl Belle needs help to fight prolong her life

Update 20/4 - Belle should hopefully start oral cemo next week as long as her bloods etc.. come back OK.

If we can we will add injecions at later date

Update 17/4 - Belle had her oncology appointment yesterday, this was just the consultation.

They went through absolutley everything history, mass cell tumours, belles case and possible costs of treating in different ways.

I am waiting for all in information in a report along with the costs so we can decide what to do for her, chemotherapy is possibly the way to go as surgery is a lot for belle and with the tumour being high grade and where its sitting they dont think they can get it all the way it is at the mom

nt.

Chemo may shrink the tumour.

Chemo therapy can be done with injections and oral medication and scans, bloods regular appointments would be needed to check her progress.

Once I have all this info

mation I will update again.

Thanks again for everyone's help she's a loved little girl ♥️

Update on Belle 15/04 - she is doing very well on steriods and not showing any signs of pain.

I am going to take her to the consultation appointment on Tuesday and see about the oncology treatment with costs etc..

I will update again after her appointment. thanks for all your help so far.

Hi my name is Alison and I have a beautiful staffy called Belle.

She has been diagnosed with a large mass cell tumour which is sitting behind her shoulder and under armpit.

So far we have high pain management and she has just started steriods which I'm hoping helps for now.

Her pain has been reduced significantly but due to the size and where it is she is in some discomfort.

Belle will need to see an oncologist and we can get her an urgent appointment next week but the costs are huge for this.

My specialist gave me an approximate cost if we go down the root of Chemotherapy to help shrink this tumour and give her better quality of life, which is £800 for first appointment with blood works etc..

£550 injection of chemo, £350/400 a month for chemo medication, plus further C.T scans and bloodwork to monitor the progress.

I don't have insurance anymore due to the high monthly costs as Belle previously had nephritis and was hospitalised for a week and kidney disease which I used insurance for.

Also the monthly costs for her renal food is extremely high, along with blood tests to keep an eye on her kidneys.

Last year we had a tumour removed which I paid £5500 and for this time round I've already paid out £3300 last week.

I unfortunately can't afford to take Belle to the next stage with oncology and would like to ask for help if possible with the cost for her please

This isn't something I'd ever dream of doing but she is my baby and I want to try whatever I can to get her as comfortable as possible and here for longer.

I will be fully transparent with all costs and will post all the receipts on my Instagram page to show each payment I have made so far and will make if we get the chance to go with the oncology appointment.
