Duke's Story

Duke was a gentle giant that Dr. Christina first met in 2012.  He was rescued by his family at the age of 9 and now, 2 years later, had a terminal diagnosis of an aggressive form of oral cancer.  He was estimated to have 3 months to live.  When Dr. Christina initially examined him, he was struggling with bad breath, had loose teeth over the site of the tumor, excessive salivation, difficulty eating, and was painful & agitated in general.  Dr. Christina helped with pain relief, dietary adjustments, ways to clean his mouth/ face, and quality of life monitoring.  Duke did AMAZING!  He lost a few more teeth, but his family noticed how much more comfortable and relaxed he was.  On follow up recheck examinations, there was no evidence of cancer.  He lived over 15 months longer than expected.  His story is truly an inspiration!
