My Corgi has cancer

My wonderful, loving corgi, Casey has cancer. He is only 5 years old. He also has been having seizures for about a year now. I have them pretty much controlled with an herb formula I found on the web. 4 weeks ago, the vet found a tumor on the roof of his mouth. He removed it along with the 4 upper front teeth that were very loose and hurting Casey. We treated an infection with antibiotics. He seems much better---very happy to be able to eat again! I did alot of research on the web and I decided to attack the cancer with a high protein diet ( I've been cooking for him) and I started him on a number of vitamins and herbs. He seems to have some of his corgi-pep back! I am not going to put him through radiation or cemo, but I'm not going to stand by without trying to help him. No matter what happens, I will know in my heart that I have done everything that is humanly possible to beat this. I also plan on having the vet check him out every month, so if the tumor returns, we can take care of it right away. If anyone has a corgi with these problems, it would be great to hear from you. I'm always looking for helpful suggestions from someone who is or has gone through this.
