On an optimistic note, cancer is the most curable of all the chronic diseases in a dog. Surgery and chemotherapy are the two most used treatments. Chemo drugs can be given orally or by injection. The side effects in vet chemo treatment are usually less significant than those seen in human medication because lower dosages are used. Many dogs show no side effects at all and are much happier because their cancer is controlled.

Michael - the above statement is the one that I disagree with. I have talked to people who have been in this situation and talked to veterinarians and also my experience with Digger and I just don't agree.
