From my FB post:

Our Hunter was enrolled in a cancer study recently. Because of his advanced stage and type of cancer, he made into the study without a hitch. All dogs get chemo and then it's a 50/50 chance of him getting the real experimental drug or the placebo. Please, let's all cross our fingers and hope for the best. Without any treatment at all, we would lose him in a few weeks. Bless The Veterinary Cancer Center in Norwalk for funding 99+% of the cost. I would recommend donating to them anytime.

He goes twice a week for treatment. Right now we are also dealing with his high blood pressure and some kidney problems.

I took him out for a field trial as the vet said it was ok for him to participate. This may be his last season to hunt. Here's a clip of some of the hunt.

Sorry to hear about your dog. As a bird hunter myself, I know how much it means to have a good field dog. Without them, you'd probably see only 25% of the birds that you'd see with your dog. Glad you could take him out in the field at least one more time. Hopefully he can recover and you can get him back out again!
 
Thanks guys, Hunter had chemo and the second round of the study drug today. Hope he's getting the real deal and not the placebo.
