I know it's possibly too late but turmeric (curcumin) could be worth a go -

It's not scientifically proven but anectdotally people have found it's helped with tumours.

So sorry your friend is going through this pain,  :'(  I feel for her and family,
but my self I would explore every avenue before I let Bertie go.
and I would get another opinion first and if the outcome is not good and
if he is still bright and not in pain then go day by day.
sending lots of healing thoughts to Bertie and his family

took all your well wishes into my friend today, made her cry, I have often spoke to her about " our family".
 we had a natter about Bertie and she says she really needs to know one way or the other. After a family discussion ( including her parents who are his day carers)) they have decided to get a second opinion from another vet who is prepared to x ray or even ultra sound ( that's how my stafiefs tumour was found). Fingers crossed.

had my own crisis today, Gemma ate a ant gel bait box  :o  a panic phone call to my vet and a description of chemicals from the packet, then a wait while the vet phoned the animal  poison people before ringing me back. was saved a 2 hr round trip to the vet thank goodness, just told to observe her. Apparently the active ingredient is one used in flea treatments and only harmful in a great quantity.  Gemma is fine, spent the afternoon eating tomatoes and humping my leg  Everything normal, except I have a few more grey hairs and have had a megga bol****** from OH

What a good friend you are. I think, after today's "excitement" with Gemma, you need a nice relaxing evening with wine and chocolate. Big hugs to you all.  Diana x

I'm so glad your friend has decided on a second opinion, I would certainly want one just so that I would know what we are dealing with.

Sending positive thoughts and :bigarmhug: :bigarmhug: to your friend, family and of corse Bertie.

So glad your friend is going to seek another opinion. If she had taken her vet's word I would imagine she would always ask 'but what if?'.

Also glad Gemma is not poorly after her mishap! Goodness me, what a couple of emotional days for you. Would send you extra chocolate supplies if I could but you'll have to settle for these I'm afraid  :bigarmhug: :bigarmhug:

It's all happening with you! So glad Gemma is okay, what a scare.  If it helps, I would suggest an ultra sound, that is how both Lara and Bertie's tumours were discovered.  Thinking of your friend, I am glad they are going for a second opinion, it doesn't make it any easier. However, I think they need to know for sure. Xx

Today is my friends birthday. Early this morning Bertie went to the bridge. He suffered a major collapse which need a emergency vet call out to help him over. 
Run free Bertie,    :luv: :luv:

So very sorry to read this - was speaking to a Lab owner who's dog had anal gland cancer removed last year, they were at hydrotherapy and the dog looks brilliant - was so hopeful Bertie would be ok.

What an awful birthday for your friend.

Run free Bertie - no longer in pain or suffering x

It must be awful not to be given the chance for a proper goodbye. With all my rainbow babies I have had lots of time to spend with them and  say goodbye before they left me.
 There has been a lot of tears at work today from Emma and myself. She only came in because she did not want people thinking that she was skiving as it was her birthday. I would have stayed away regardless
