Hi Joann, Your story of your Summit has really hit home with me. My sweet almost 8 year old black lab was diagnosed with osteosarcoma 2 weeks ago. He had been limping intermittantly for a good 8 months. I've also seen an oncologist, tried to do research on the internet and feel like you felt. I've decided on palliative treatment but am feeling pressured into amputation. I've been on the Tripawd website trying to muster the strength to move forward with it, but something keeps holding me back. He is handling painkillers very well...no constipation, good appetite, and actually is in better spirits than before his diagnosis. I want him to be comfortable in his remaining time here with us. From everything I read, all of those treatments aren't giving the dog a much greater survival time. You mention artemisinin, what is that? I'm writing to you because you say you're involved in supporting those of us whose dogs have received this awful diagnosis. Thank you in advance for any info you are willing to share. Lisa Baird
