GRACIE'S BRAIN TUMOUR, SUPPLEMENTS AND FENBENDAZOLE
In July 2024 Gracie, a seven and a half year old Border Collie began having seizures.
MRI revealed a large, extra axial mass in left frontal / temporal region.
The growth was removed in October 2024 at Liverpool Small Animal Hospital and was confirmed to be a meningioma - a benign growth arising from the tissues that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Radiation therapy began and was continued into December 2024.
(An average survival time of ~18 months has been reported in dogs with meningioma treated with surgery in combination with radiation therapy.
Gracie's Mum contacted us in March 2025 to ask for an anti-cancer support regime with the aim of helping to maintain quality of life for as long as possible.
Following a review of all medical records and an online consultation the following supplements were introduced alongside her medication (Phenobarbital, Levetiracetam, Prednisolone and Paracetamol).
1. Time Health Algal oil ( https://www.timehealth.co.uk/product/vegan-omega3/?attribute_pa_size=120-capsule-bottle ) - to replace all oils and fish products (the code vincethevet15 was used at the checkout on Time Health's website to gain 15% discount).
2. Organic Milk Thistle
3. Vitality ( https://www.vincethevet.co.uk/single/vitality---small-200g ) - to provide a rich supply of organic micronutrients vital for tissue regeneration and repair, plus optimum cellular health and well-being.
4. Fenbendazole ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fenbendazole-Fenben-Lab-Certificate-Laboratory/dp/B08286RR1K/ ) for its anti-cancer properties
After 8 weeks Sarah noted:
- the diet seems to be suiting her well
- the flaky, scurvy skin was much improved
- great energy levels.
The next step was to introduce:
5. Immunity ( https://www.vincethevet.co.uk/single/immunity---small-200g ) - to support the immune system and body's natural defences.
6. Digestion ( https://www.vincethevet.co.uk/single/digestion---small-400g ) plus Time Health Bio Cultures ( https://www.timehealth.co.uk/product/bio-cultures-digestive-support-55-billion-cfu-advanced-multi-strain-complex/ ) daily, to boost the gut microbiome, which in turn supports a strong, healthy immune system.
To date Gracie remains very well and clinically normal, even as much of the medication she was on has been significantly reduced - which is extremely encouraging at this stage!
Keep an eye out for future updates. 😀👍
