I'm now working toward my master's in Penn's bioethics program. So my philosophy background wasn't left by the wayside. Never be afraid to ask a vet for a second opinion. Cancer has such a stigma. It's so scary.
People think treatment has to be a terrible thing.
The worst thing is when a vet says, 'There's nothing we can do,' and the owner euthanizes the pet and then a week later talks to a friend or sees a TV report about how the pet could have been saved. And yes, I have had a dog with cancer. The information provided through OncoLink should not be used for diagnosing or treating a health problem or a disease.
