oh crap... I sure know how you feel... well I think I do.
since my first dx and dx with mets - first one, then the next of our rottie girls were dx'd with cancer. One even needed a brain scan! and me with brain mets...
Our first had her spleen removed, the tumor being the size of a large orange. She died suddenly one morning, about a yr. later, without warning or significant illness.
Just this past Oct. we set our second girl free from Malignant Melanoma which was dx'd in June. She'd had a toe amputated the previous Feb, but through a screw up, no lab work was done on it. This is fairly rare in dogs. Tx not effective.
If we had had a dx of bone cancer, I'd be looking hard at the effectiveness of available tx's, quality of life issues, overall prognosis.
oh...and my darling cousin, mom to four young'ins was dx'd with bc just this past fall.....
so sorry for this added blow,
sending some hugs,
pattyz
