Penny has cancer - help beat it
Donation protected
In the past 3 months, Penny has visited the vet more than any animal should in a lifetime.
After several blood tests, a switch to hypo allergen food, a sonogram, weeks of Prednison and anti-vomiting tablets and many consults with three different vets, Penny underwent a laparoscopy and it became clear she has malignant lymphoma cancer – also known as Hodgkin's in humans.
The news broke my heart, she is my everything. She recently turned only 6 years old, and I promised myself I will not give her up as long as she’s not ready to go and a treatment will not influence her quality of life.
Treatment of cancer for animals differs from humans, mostly because it’s less aggressive, and therefore her quality of life remains the same. Without it, she will pass away within weeks of today. I would never make her suffer because I cannot let go.
The Medisch Centrum voor Dieren in Amsterdam started her treatment with Oncaspar (link in Dutch). This is however, very expensive. I spent 3 months on trying to get the right diagnose, sold everything I could sell to pay the bills, but I’m running out of options.
This is where I would like to ask your help. Even if you cannot financially contribute yourself, I would like to ask you to share this message with your friends.
Of course I will keep you updated on her treatment, and how you’ve helped. The amount I’m trying to raise is an estimate of the treatment, check ups and blood tests. If the costs end up lower, I will donate what is left to the Dierenbescherming in name of everyone who made a contribution.
I have two campaigns (also on doneeractie.nl) since I live in the Netherlands and many Dutch people don't have a credit card. Do you prefer to donate with iDeal? Please click here . I will remove the donation options on both sites once I reached a total of 2500 euro's (excluding transfer costs and fees).
Please help me help Penny. Thank you so much in advance.
