My 5 year old golden Retriever was diagnosed today with two different cancers, Mast Cell (removed with clear margins) and soft cell sarcoma ( with too thin of a margin. The vet recommends he either go to the Phoenix area or Torrance area for radiation. The oncologist group in the Phoenix area is Arizona Veterinary Oncology and the Torrance group is called Torrance Veterinary Oncology Group. Have any of you had to use either of these two groups? This is his third cancer in 13 months

Sorry to hear this. One of our dogs just went through radiation treatments in SoCal for a heart mass. Hoping the best for your dog.

ETA: I would look up the facilities and see what type of equipment they have. The place we used has a very advanced machine that is better than most human facilities. They are able to target the cancer while harming less healthy tissue.

I wish I could recommend but can’t. All I can give is some positive thoughts for your beautiful dog. We had to put ours down a few years ago due to lung cancer. They are the best dogs ever.
