Over the past few weeks, I've done a lot of reading on this forum and the information is overwhelming, especially when you're relatively new to biology etc. I've received a number of brilliant responses from the brilliant minds on this forum and with compassion I'm hoping to hear a few more of your opinions.
My dog was diagnosed with TCC (transitional cell carcinoma) at the start of the year and I hear that it's generally quite an aggressive form of cancer, from the ultrasound, it seems to have spread from the urethra line up into the prostate. I was recommended a number of interesting treatments and drugs like Fenbendazole, Cyproheptadine, Aspirin and Glycine found in Gelatine.
I've managed to secure Fenbendazole which he started two weeks ago and I'm currently giving gelatine, turmeric, bio kult probiotic, turkey tail and the NSAID meloxicam. The vet was unwilling with prescribe aspirin and without proper dosing guidelines I didn't want to go it alone and cause any issues or drug interactions etc, so I just rolled with meloxicam despite it probably not been favourable from users on this forum.
That been said, I feel like there's more than can be done and I'm going to push strongly and request Cyproheptadine to be prescribed, they'll unlikely prescribe it for treating cancer but I'll say it's to be used as an antihistamine to treat allergies like itchy paws. I've also been reading about Thiamine and Niacinamide which also look like sound things to add in but I wouldn't have the slightest idea on the dosage for a 10kg dog and there doesn't seem to be much of a market for dog supplements so it looks like I'll have to use human supplements and maybe spilt the pills into a lower dose that is more suitable if I can find clean products, unless I can get therapeutic doses from certain foods?
As for the diet, he pretty much just eats beef, chicken, lamb or duck with broccoli, sweet potato, green beans, carrot, mixed berries and apple with a little cheese which he takes the meloxicam with. I don't add any form of PUFA and I try to be conscious about the Lysine and Arginine ratio. I've also tried giving him liver but he wasn't a fan lol.
Hopefully I've covered everything I'm doing in my power but I guess I just want to make sure I'm doing everything I can or if I'm missing anything out? I could spend months or even years reading this forum but hopefully I'm on the right lines with what I'm doing. I honestly believe from everything I've read here that cancer is a metabolic disease and it can be reversed but I just hope I have enough time to give this my best possible shot.
Thanks for reading and I appreciate any replies, means a lot.
