Last week Lola was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, an aggressive cancer. I’m reaching out for support to help pay for urgent surgery costs

Auckland

Last week Lola was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, an aggressive fast spreading cancer in her ribcage.

She is only 20 months old & this shouldn’t be happening to a dog so young!

I’ve tossed & turned over the idea of asking for help but I’m so desperate to save my girl.

The bills keep getting bigger & bigger.

Being such an aggressive cancer, time is precious. Surgery & chemotherapy needs to happen ASAP. But financially backing it is proving to become overwhelming.

Since last week $4925 has already been spent getting tests & diagnostics done.

Vet consultation - $120

Anesthetic, blood work & fine needle testing - $1300

Anesthetic, CT scan & Biopsy - $3505

Now I’ve been told she needs surgery which will cost between $7000-8000

With 4/5 rounds of chemotherapy costing $700-800 each treatment.

This could come to a total of around $17,000 in the end.

I love this girl more than anything in the world, and those of you who have been lucky enough to have met Lola know what a beautiful girl she is. Her life is worth saving. She brings joy to everyone who meets her.

I’ve never been one to ask for help, but today I’m reaching out to anyone who can spare something to please help save my girl. Anything is appreciated.

I will keep updates coming as they arise.

Last round of chemotherapy today!!   27 August 2020

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to jump on here & give those of you who may be wondering how Lola is doing a little update!

She has healed absolutely amazing from her surgery! Back to running around on the beach like a dog should be.

LAST ROUND OF CHEMOTHERAPY TODAY!

I couldn’t be happier that we’re coming out the other side of this.

Again, this wouldn’t have been possible AT ALL without the love & support from you all.

Your kindness has saved her life and kept her in mine, for that I’ll be forever grateful to you all.

Wish lola luck today!

Sending love and thanks to you all.

Warmest regards,

Grace & Lola ❤️
