My baby boy has cancer. Mast cell sarcoma.


..........chemo doesn't have much effectiveness with mast cell cancer.
Radiation maybe. But since Rudy has had this spot for so long, and he's at
an advanced age, I wouldn't go off the deep end. In all likelihood he'll
die, not of cancer, but with it. I'd suggest a consult with an oncologist
if you want to explore further options. But keep in mind, that while cancer
is their area of expertise, most medical personnel like to DO something, and
personally I don't think that's always the answer.

Best of luck to you and your boy
