My cat, Pierre had a nerve sheath tumor in his mouth. I took him to the the best Animal Medical Center in NYC. they removed the tumor and tested it and it was malignant. when the dr. called and gave me the bad news i asked him what my options were, i could have the entire area (where the tumor was) excised or do nothing. if i didn’t have the area excised he would have 6 months to live and here is the million dollar question (almost literally) if i did have the surgery for my beloved P...Read the full article

Hi Michele,

My condolences to you and your cat. I am Daveyo an expert on Canine Distemper, and I just wanted to let you know your cat today would be a excellent prime candidate for a full cure treatment on Cancerous Tumors. This has been achieved in Atlanta Georgia only this year and I have the medical report with me. The potential of this discovery is quite simple as it might be the Holy Grail to cure most types of cancers known today both for animals and for humans. It has been extremely very successful in the lab.

Obviously 6 years does make a big difference. The amount of money you spent is quite high and it is even much higher in humans. Yet again the VET themselves knew the animal is going to die, but how to tell you this is another matter as they don't want to see their income get depleted either. So most of them milk the customers for whatever they can get so they can earn their living. Typical of the medical spectrum.

However you cannot sue them because they did everything according to the medical ethics that they swore themselves to uphold. Even today many VETS will refuse to treat animals if no money is to be made and a lot of them require cash up front or a clearance of your check or visa card or your medical insurance card if it accepts the treatment that falls within their guidelines. If you have the money available then bam they will be ringing up the cash register till your nuts fall off and then when all said and done, they say they tried their best. Why, because most people and VETS do not know what is involved or what the real latest news is for treatments that are available even experimental ones.

Most catastrophic illnesses is the major item that breaks the camels back financially.

A different time a different place and some get lucky and some don't live long enough to benefit from the latest advances in medical technology.
