On April 3, 2025, Oscar — a German Shepherd — was diagnosed with transitional cell carcinoma in the bladder/trigone region. The prognosis was “maybe six months” with chemotherapy. That same day, I decided not to wait passively.
I built a system around his care under my oncologist's direction. AI helped organize records and prepare better questions. My oncologist made the clinical decisions.

On July 3, 2025, my oncologist assessed a strong partial to complete response of the urinary tumor — unable to clearly visualize cancer on the trigone or urethra — while pulmonary nodules were still present. That was a bladder-site response, not whole-body remission. By September 4, 2025, his lung metastases had stopped growing and were stable. He stayed fully himself — beach, swimming, walks, food, sleep — until the last one to two weeks.
He was euthanized on June 16, 2026 — 439 days after diagnosis. The cancer eventually outran us. But not before he got real time.
The prognosis was not an instruction to give up. It was a number to work from.
