[Felvtalk] Winstrol

[Amani Oakley]

Rachel, I don't think it can "fix" cancer but I think it can help the surrounding issues that accompany the cancer. I used it on a 16 year old cat with a huge nasal sarcoma, and it kept her eating, putting a bit of weight on her (she was a tiny fragile little feral cat who had been in our home since she was a year old). The vet who was treating her cancer with radiation therapy, was absolutely amazed regarding how well she was doing with this giant tumour and the radiation therapy, etc. She lived to age 19. She was one where we saw a very dramatic spike of her liver enzymes on the Winstrol - I discontinued for a few weeks until the enzymes dropped back down to not so bad levels - but there was never any sign of actual liver problems like jaundice or cancer, etc. The vet who was looking supervising her care is a good friend of ours who (a) knew not to argue with me and (b) knew of the great results I had had with Zander. He is the head of oncology at the leading vet university programme in Canada. However, he agreed with my logic. Katrina was doomed and the best we could do was to keep her as comfortable as possible for as long as possible. He agreed there was little downside risk in trying the Winstrol. The tumour shrunk BEFORE we ever tried the radiation therapy on her, and he said that if we had gotten that result AFTER the radiation therapy, he would have declared the radiation therapy a success. The tumour didn't disappear of course, but definitely shrunk - probably a little bit of anti-inflammatory effect. I had her on both the Winstrol and the prednisone.

I wish it could fix cancer. :( Tucker doesn't seem as perky today.

Ardy was able to find it at a compounding pharmacy in Arizona (I think!) and the vet could fill in the prescription online and the pharmacy delivered directly to Ardy. She used a liquid form so I am not familiar with that. The one I used and really liked were tiny "quick dissolve" tablets which were easy for me to give. If you go online, look for a compounding veterinary pharmacy in your area and contact them about whether they carry Winstrol (Stanazolol). You want it in 1 mg or 2 mg tablets if you get the tablets. They are hard to cut (basically just crumble) so that's one reason to go for the 1 mg ones - you can just give 2 a day to start. However, obviously it is easier to give a single 2 mg dose daily, so again, this is an option.
