salienne1. Radiation 5 times a week for 4 weeks. 50% chance of prolonging the dog's life 3-5 years. Dog will be miserable for two months. Lots of chances for complications.
2. Radiation once a week for 4 weeks. Gives dog an extra 3-8 months.
3. Let the tumor grow. If it doesn't spread to some other part of his body, amptutate the leg (though I'm wondering why the hell we couldn't amputate the leg before it grows, but then the poor dog would have no left front leg). Or just let him die.
...I really don't have much else to say.
