Okay... I hate doing this, but here we go... This is Apollo, he is my 4-year-old pitty that was just diagnosed with oral melanoma.

Originally, we thought we had dodged a bullet because his histopathology indicated that the mass removed from his mouth was likely a low malignant cancer. However, when we did a test called Ki-67, that test came back with a higher percentage indicating it was an aggressive cancer.

So here’s the timeline... 12/2/25: mass was removed. 12/9/25: histopath came back low malignancy. 12/12/25: Ki-67 came back aggressive cancer likely. 12/15/24: oncology appointment. 12/18/25: head CT scan. And then it leads to today, Apollo's first radiation appointment. I’m asking for donations because his total bill for this radiation treatment, melanoma vaccine, and all his follow-up appointments and X-rays are going to run me over $15,000.

I would sell my soul before I ever give up on this dog. He’s the beginning and end of my world, and I can’t see him leaving me. Four years with him is just not enough time.

So, (I’m swallowing my pride) and in the spirit of the holidays, I’m asking if anyone has the ability to help me and Apollo, it would be greatly appreciated ❤️
