Hi everyone.

I have an 11-year-old crossbreed (female) who is quite overweight.

She has had laparoscopic surgery to remove a tonsil tumour.

The histopathology results showed that it is a malignant tumour.

Due to her heart problems, she can't undergo standard chemotherapy.

The oncologist has recommended a medication called Leukeran.

I'm curious to know if any of you have any opinions or experience regarding cancer treatment using this drug.

    Hello, Indeed, Leukeran is a very well-tolerated oral chemotherapy that serves as an excellent palliative alternative when conventional chemotherapy isn't an option. Its main benefit is that it isn't toxic to the heart, which protects your dog's cardiac health while slowing down the tumour's progression. The number one priority with Leukeran is to give her the best possible quality of life and keep her comfortable! Regarding her being overweight, don't hesitate to ask your vet if a slight adjustment to her diet (such as satiety dry food or adding boiled courgettes to her meals to add bulk) could help her lose a little weight gently, without her feeling deprived :)) I wish you all the best. Kind regards, Laure.
