Help Andrew's Pupper
Donation protected
Hi friends!
Sadly, Andrew's pupper Sol (the golden one) was just diagnosed with thyroid cancer. The veterinarian gave him a few treatment options, but most are a gamble in terms of what will be effective.
According to the vet, surgically removing the mass is the most effective long-term option for thyroid cancer. The other treatment options essentially just attempt to slow the growth in hopes to keep quality of life okay for 6-12months.
Because of the tumor's location on his throat, Sol needs a CT scan to determine if he's even a candidate for surgery. Unfortunately CT scans are at least $2,000.
We all know how much Andrew loves these pups, and they're his first real pets, so they have an extra attachment. I just want him to at least have the option of considering surgery, especially because Sol is in such great health outside of this mass.
But whatever money is raised will go toward some form of cancer treatment, so any little bit helps. And I 100000000% understand if money isn't an option right now, so please at least give him a hug next time you see him.
Also, don't tell him, please - I want to surprise him!
I know he will really really appreciate the support. Thanks friends <3
PS. Being able to get the CT scan in the next couple weeks would be ideal, as the mass is growing pretty quickly. The more it grows, the less likely surgery is an option.
