Default Cancer

Hello,
Our beautiful 11year old Mastiff cross has been diagnosed with Lingual
Haemangiosarcoma.
It appeared as a tumour on his tongue of which he has had a piece
removed. The pathology results proved the tumour was the primary, not
a secondary as first suspected by the vet.
Apparently he would still have the cancer cells floating around in his
blood, but a blood test won't show anything until it is too late.
I was wondering if any of you may have an idea of how we could purify
his blood, to slow down/kill the cancer???
We live in Cairns Australia and only have limited resources available.
For example an animal would have to fly to Brisbane to have
Chemotherapy.
We don't want him to suffer, but thought that you may know of some new
medication that could prolong his life while still giving him quality.
I must say since he has had the tumour removed he has had a new
outlook on life and is quite energetic and happy.
I found this website very helpful when he was diagnosed with an auto
immune disease 2 years ago. This may have been when he contracted the
cancer??
I look forward to a reply. Thank you.
