[REQUEST] Kai Needs Urgent Cancer Treatment

[u/Accursed_Pan]

Hi there,

We adopted Kai from a rescue 7 months ago who'd found him abandoned in the desert, underweight, and definitely didn't have a good previous household. We took him in to a vet shortly after adoption cause I'd noticed a growth in his mouth. The vet said they weren't concerned by it and said Kai was healthy. He's now 2 years old.

Last month, I noticed that his growth was punctured and a week later when he was napping, his drool was bloody and the growth looked infected. I rushed him to the emergency vet (1.5 hours away) who performed several tests and surgery to remove the growth. When he tried, he went as deep as he could, but the growth had grown roots and spread into the bone in the roof of his mouth. That vet sent the growth off to be biopsied and we found out Nov 30th that he was positive for cancer. I currently have that lab working on more tests to determine which cancer it is.

I located a radiology oncologist in LA who wants to take Kai on and make him comfortable and improve his quality of life. Right now, she needs more tests to be run (including CT Scans) to help paint a bigger picture of what we're facing. I can't afford it. She also needs to treat him with radiation therapy to slow the cancer cells down. I can't afford this either.

I'm asking for help in paying his medical bills, upcoming testing and future treatments to make him feel better and help slow it down and maybe (hopefully??) make it stop. If you can't donate, could you please cross share/post help spread his story for me?

Hi Everyone,

I just received Kai’s results back from the further testing on his biopsy. They said that he has sarcoma. They’re unsure which kind, but their best guess right now is poorly differentiated sarcoma. I’m scheduling him with BluePearl Vet for their Medical Oncology in Studio City, CA for Christmas Eve to have more tests run and see the best coarse forward for him, since we’re unable to come up with the 11K needed for the radiation therapy, after the $3400 they wanted for testing for it.

Donations are still needed, no matter how small, while we work on figuring out the best way to treat Kai while making sure he’s as comfortable and healthy as possible. Please share his story as much as you can, whether you’re able to donate or not. Kai is my family and my child. I want to do anything I can to ease his suffering and cure him.

I’ll continue to post updates as I get them. Please help me save my baby boy.
