My Husky Has Liver Cancer, But Memphis is A Champion!

Channel: Gone to the Snow Dogs Published: 2026-06-06 09:45
Gone to the Snow Dogs

This is a heartfelt update video from the channel owner about Memphis, the family dog, who has been diagnosed with liver cancer. The speaker explains that Memphis’s liver enzymes had been climbing for years, an ultrasound and biopsy confirmed a liver tumor, and the good news is that the tumor appears to be a slow-growing type that may be surgically removable without chemo or radiation.

Detailed summary

The speaker’s core message is that Memphis has liver cancer, but the situation is not hopeless and may be treatable with surgery. The video is framed as an emotional but deliberately upbeat update: the speaker repeatedly asks viewers not to panic, emphasizes that Memphis is still active and “a gosh dang champion,” and says they are focusing on the best plausible outcome rather than spiraling into fear. The medical explanation is the main substance of the video. The speaker says Memphis’s liver values had been elevated and slowly rising for almost three years, and on the latest bloodwork the ALKP, ALT, and GGT were “ridiculously high.” That led to repeat imaging, including ultrasound, X-rays, and clotting bloodwork. The ultrasound found a liver mass, and because Memphis handled the procedure well on trazodone, the vet was able to perform a needle aspirate. …

Main takeaways

  1. Memphis has been diagnosed with liver cancer, but the tumor may be surgically removable.
  2. Her liver enzymes had been rising for years before the diagnosis, which is why the vet kept escalating testing.
  3. The speaker says the tumor type appears slow-growing and potentially treatable without chemo or radiation.
  4. A surgery consult in Flint is scheduled for July 1, pending specialist review.
  5. The speaker strongly rejects the idea that age alone should rule out surgery.
  6. The video is as much a community update and support appeal as it is a medical explanation.

Market read by horizon

Short term

Near term, the actionable issue is the upcoming surgical review and whether the current July 1 plan holds. The setup is binary around operability and timing, with the main risk being additional tests or a changed plan.

  • The immediate catalyst is the surgical review in Flint, with July 1 as the current target date.
Show more
  • The biggest near-term uncertainty is whether the surgeon keeps that date or asks for more imaging, such as a CT scan.
  • The family is waiting on the surgeon’s estimate, which will clarify the practical cost and logistics.
Mid term

Over the next few weeks to months, the base case is a specialist-confirmed surgery path if the tumor remains localized and resectable. The outlook improves materially if margins are clean and no further spread is found; it worsens if imaging or pathology complicates the plan.

  • Over the next several weeks, the key question is whether surgery can achieve clean margins and remove the tumor fully.
Show more
  • If the specialist confirms operability, the base case in the speaker’s framing is recovery without chemo or radiation.
  • If surgery is delayed or the imaging shows a more complex mass, the optimistic scenario weakens and the treatment path could change.
Long term

Structurally, the video argues that older animals can still be good surgical candidates when function is otherwise strong. The long-run implication is a prognosis framework based on condition and pathology, not age alone.

  • The structural thesis in the video is that not all cancer diagnoses in older pets are automatically end-stage or untreatable.
Show more
  • The speaker argues that age should be treated as one factor among many, not as a disqualifier by itself.
  • If surgery succeeds, the long-run implication is that Memphis could return to a near-normal life despite the cancer history.

Where this transcript pushes against consensus

  • The claim that the tumor type likely has a good prognosis is plausible, but the video does not provide the actual pathology report or surgical staging details.
  • The speaker says the mass is probably operable, but that remains contingent on specialist review and possibly additional imaging.
  • The assertion that age is not a disease is directionally fair, but it does not by itself resolve the anesthesia and surgical-risk question.
  • The speaker presents the situation as the 'best worst outcome,' which is emotionally coherent but still leaves uncertainty about recurrence or recovery.
  • The fundraising messaging may blur emotional support with practical need, though the speaker does try to state donations are optional.
