Sept 19... Prednisone is no longer working and Max is going down hill

Poor Max his eyes are droopy and head has been in a stiff tilt - he's been so uncomfortable stuck like this..

Max 2 and a half weeks after starting prednisone

Huge difference from how he was a short while ago and couldn't walk!!! You can still see he doesn't have a ton of endurance.. but still thinks he's the same old Max!

Max 2 days after starting prednisone - May 2011

Going back a little in time... I wanted to document how Max has progressed/ declined, etc, prior to us doing Cyber Knife. Fortunate for him, I didn't torment him with any videos of him being unable to walk, being nauseous or his google eyes.. but he was pretty bad..


When Max was first diagnosed I didn't want to do anything intrusive or put him on chemo. We had already had a bad experience with that and our golden, so I opted for pallative care with prednisone. Max's eyes were circling like in a cartoon, and he had vertigo 2 days prior. His head was tilted and he couldn't walk in a straight line, but rather circled in tighter and tighter circles until he'd fall over.. like a bad game of dizzy bat. These videos were taken after 2 days on prednisone
