WEEK 11
WEEK 11
AND ALL IS WELL!
Not much to report today - so I guess no news is good news.
We have the very best Christmas gift. A happy, healthy Kodi. 11 weeks ago we really did not expect him to be here this Christmas.
The tumour is now completely invisible to the naked eye and Kodi seems well and energetic.
We continue with the treatment until the New Year when Dr Janey returns from leave and will then discuss a maintence programme for him.
A follower on Facebook asked for some photos of the food we prepare.

WEEK 10
Compare with where we started 10 weeks ago
Summer has arrived in the Southern Hemisphere and with it comes the pesky flea and tick problem.

We cannot use anything chemical or toxic on Kodi and unfortunately he is very sensitive to flea bites.
I found these remedies on Facebook which use natural products and will try out both to see if we have any success.
Repellent for your pets:
For pets, add 1 cup of water to a spray bottle, followed by 2 cups of distilled white vinegar. Ticks hate the smell and taste of vinegar, and will be easily be repelled by this ingredient alone. Then, add two spoonfuls of vegetable or almond oil, which both contain sulfur (another natural tick repellent).
To make a repellent that will also deter fleas, mix in a few spoonfuls of lemon juice, citrus oil, or peppermint oil, any of which will repel ticks and fleas while also creating a nicely scented repellent. Spray onto the pet's dry coat, staying away from sensitive areas including eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. When outdoors for an extended period, spray this solution on two to three times per day.

Flea & Tick Remedy
8 oz apple cider vinegar
4 oz warm water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
Mix dry ingredients first then slowly add to wet as the vinegar and baking soda will react slightly. Put into spray bottle and spray pets down. Be careful not to get in pets eyes.

DAY 63
Nine weeks ago to the day we started on this journey with Kodi. He had been diagnosed with a Squamous Cell Carcinoma on his mandible - a progressive, rapid growing tumour. The only treatment available was to remove a large section of his jaw followed by radiotherapy and chemo. The longevity stats after such a radical approach were not good. It was a route we were not prepared to travel. We had sadly come to the conclusion to keep him as comfortable as possible for as long as possible and when the time came, we would know.
Through one of those amazing coincidences in life we met Dr Janey Little who was visiting Vets in our area to inform them of her programme for treating cancer. She examined Kodi and assured us that her treatment programme would be beneficial.
Although initially slightly sceptical - we had absolutely nothing to lose and decided to comit ourselves 100% to the programme.
Followers of this blog will know that this has not been easy. 2 hourly treatments, cooking hormone and chemical free meals and adhering to a complete detox of his body and his environment has taken a huge amount of dedication and perseverance - but we have done it gladly.
The result has been astounding.
We were not asked to put up this blog and it is not our intention to promote or advertise any person or product. It has simply been a chart of our own experience following this programme - whatever the outcome. It is our hope that this may help others who find themselves in a similar position. Details of the treatment and diet are included in previous posts on this blog.
All visible signs ot the tumour have gone.
We are continuing on a maintenance programme and will take guidance from Dr Janey as to how to proceed long term.
We are eternally grateful to Dr Janey Little, a dedicated and wonderful person, whose cancer research is helping so many people and animals beat this dreaded disease.
