Canine Cancer
I saw it already on Grey’s Anatomy that Merediths’ dog had canine cancer, but like all things TV and especially all things cancer: you only listen when it happens to you. And in the case of this canine cancer, I am listening because I can see the tears in my neighbours eyes when she got the news her dog had canine liver cancer.
Types of Canine cancer
There are many types of canine cancer and as with human cancer, it is caused by an uncontrolled growth of cells.
Tumors originate from these harmful and malignant cells and it then spread to other parts via the bloodstream. Cancer occurs in dogs in many different forms from liver to kidney cancer to skin cancer and leukemia.
- One common type of canine cancer is orophayngeal cancer which is basically mouth cancer.
- Lymphoma or lymphosarcoma is the third most common cancer in canines. This form of cancer can originate from many different parts of a dog’s body including lymph nodes, liver and spleen.
- Osteosarcoma is a cancer that does not have too many symptoms in its early stages. This is a type of bone cancer.
- Mastocytoma is a type of tumor that occurs in the skin frequently but it can spread to the spleen, liver and bone marrow. Most skin tumours are benign but if you do spot a lump, do get it checked out by the vet immediately to rule out cancer.
Canine cancer symptoms
It is difficult to define accurately the exact symptoms to look for in canine cancer but some of it are:
- reduction in the energy level,
- stiffness,
- difficulty in breathing,
- sores that wont heal,
- any discharge or bleeding from any orifices,
- lumps that get bigger,
- unusual odours and
- difficulty in urinating or defecating.

The best cancer treatment: having a healthy body
As long as there is no bullet proof cure for cancer, it all boils down to Darwin's survival of the fittest. The best way to get ahead of cancer is:
- making sure you don't get cancer
- making sure your body has all it can get to kill cancer cells
Cancer prevention boils down to eating and living healthy, keeping a healthy mind in a healthy body.
Easier said than done in a world were your job stresses you out, car smoke pollutes your air, food is filled with residu's and water is polluted.
But if your life is dear to you, then you cannot use all the above as an excuse. Father had been smoking, had worked with asbestos and didn't eat much vegetables nor fruit. Father died with metastatic liver cancer in a way I wouldn't even wish my worst enemy.
When your life is dear to you, start doing all the things that our metastatic liver cancer survivors are doing:
1. Believe there is a cure : believe it like you believe the sun will rise tomorrow.
2. Use conventional medicine like chemotherapy, surgery and/or radiation therapy.
3. Use alternative cancer treatments to boost your immune system and overall health:
- the healthier you are: the better you can fight of diseases and
- the healthier you are: the better chemotherapy could work for you
4. Follow an holistic health approach: having a healthy spirit in a healthy body:
- focus on less stress,
- more relaxation,
- more exercise (Jim's son is swimming twice a week for both exercise and relaxation),
- a healthy diet based on organic products
- make sure you have a hobby to pass your time doing something you love
5. Make sure you have money or good health insurance to buy what you need to better achieve all of the above.
6. Surround yourself with as many loving and helpful creatures you can find: according to pancreatic cancer patient Patrick Swayze:
"you gotta have a dog"
