Addie & Hemangiosarcoma


This blog is dedicated to Addie, a very sweet girl! On July 15, 2008 she was diagnosed with a cancer known as hemangiosarcoma – a rapidly growing, highly invasive, blood fed sarcoma. This blogger is blogging in an attempt to help others learn from our efforts to improve her quality and quantity of life.

This blog is very important to us! Our Daisy also had Hemangiosarcomas and we were told that there was no way she would survive! We were told they were terminal. In fact, when we arrived at the emergency room and Daisy's cardiac hemangiosarcoma had ruptured and she was in cardiac failure we were told she had 1-2 hours tops. I refused to euthanize her and am glad I did. We asked for some chinese herbs (yunnan Baiyao) which we knew our hospital had, and 14 hours later Daisy jumped up off the gurney ran out and her vitals were normal. I'll talk more about her in another posting, but this blog is testament that Hemangiosarcoma IS IN FACT something that can be cured or at least lived with successfully. It's all about balance and finding that right balance.  Addie was diagnosed in 2008. It is now March 2012 and she is doing great!  Please read this blog!  You'll be inspired!
