Rigley's Brain Tumor Surgery Fund
Donation protected
On Memorial Day weekend, Rigley started having cluster seizures and we rushed him to emergency. After seeing a neurologist and multiple tests later, his MRI came back positive for a brain tumor and Rigley was diagnosed with meningioma.
The good news is that he is a great candidate for surgery and the tumor is benign so it can be easily removed. However, the surgery will cost between $6,000-8,000. Radiation therapy is an additional $7,000-8,000 but we will start with the surgery.
In general, dogs with brain tumors can have about a year of good quality of life following surgery and with meningiomas we can often get even longer (sometimes a couple of years).
If we continue with his medication only, we would have about a month left together.
As I'm sure many of you can relate, dogs are more than just pets. They're part of the family. This is especially painful for us since we just lost our 4-year old Dobie from cancer in November.
Any kind of contribution helps--small, large, a like or a share.
Thank you in advance!
