Dr. Rovner is hopeful that the prednisolone will work. He said he has seen as bad/worse cases come out of it without spinal surgery, just medication. The prednisolone reduces the inflammation and allows the damage to the spine to heal. I asked if it won't just come back when off the meds again and he said it usually doesn't.
There is also a new procedure with lasers he's checking into. He's personally calling the person pioneering it in TX and will ask if he needs a (free) trial patient - says its an amazing new treatment, relatively non-invasive.
And.... he "researched the heck out of" the whole Chinese medicine treatment for hemangiosarcoma (her cancer) and ordered stuff for her to take. It should be in any day. He says high vitamin A and D are good for cancer patients, as well as this Chinese herb (name unknown at this time.) Chinese treatment is focused on anti-hemangiogenesis (aka not letting the body create blood flow and "starving the cancer".) Without new blood vessel growth its ability to live is reduced.
