Editorial Reviews

Review

Apollo's Creed is a touching book - meant to help people through the journey of their pet's illness (in this case, dog cancer) by offering up information on health choices not widely talked about - except by those who already know they exist. --EJ Thornton - best selling author

Apollo's Creed is a book that helps the pet owner through the process, medically and emotionally of canine cancer.

Canine cancer is a harsh reality. It helps to know you're not alone. It helps to know that there are ways that you can help your animal while they are healing or while they are dying. --John Craig, best selling author

Product Description

The story of the fight for time - against a major killer of dogs - cancer.

When Apollo and I were going through this ordeal, I couldn't find any resource - book or otherwise - to help me make these hard decisions. So, I created the book that I wished I could have found then. As Apollo and I took this journey together, I searched for answers and the only place I could find them was in my heart. This book is for you - first, to know you're not alone facing this - and second to be a source of pertinent information and true comfort during this difficult time.

8.4 million pet owners every year are told their pet has cancer. Most want to do something proactively to help their pets feel better and fight this disease. There are many health options now, beyond strictly the western medical options. This is Apollo's story and as a med-tech, I feel like I could explain - better than most what was going on and why these methods helped our puppy live longer than expected with great quality of life.

Apollo's creed and legacy to you is to help you find all the resources and treatment options possible for your pet to make him/her feel better as they fight the battle for their life. And if the time comes where you have to say good-by... you'll be able to face that life event with courage, gratitude for your pet's life - and most of all - NO REGRETS!

(Originally titled Apollo's Creed)

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed, March 5, 2008
As I have often found in my life, enlightenment and crucial messages can come in the greatest time of need. This is the case of Apollo's Creed. This book came to me at an important time in my relationship with my acutely ill dog Mojo. Although he ultimately sucumbed to his illness, I was fortunate in that I could provide the best medical care that money could buy, both mainstream and alternative. This author's experience, and choices, validated my own. I found her message to be very comforting and I related to the lessons that she learned.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever loved a pet.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you have ever had your dog diagnosed with dog cancer, March 3, 2008
I recommend this book to anyone who has faced the sad reality of their pet's health battle with dog cancer. If you have a pet that is your best friend, a part of your family that you know you can NEVER replace, then this is a must read.

I just found out that over 1.8 million dogs are diagnosed with canine cancer. Is your one of them? If you feel lost and overwhelmed then this book will help you.
You will learn helpful tips from this pet parent from the journey she took with her dog, diagnosed with canine bone cancer. She was able to provided her dog with quality life. This book will help you do the same for your dog with cancer.

5.0 out of 5 stars How many people do you know who have ever had a sick pet?, March 2, 2008
Now ask yourself, how many of them did much more than take them to the vet? Probably not many, because frankly, what do you do in addition to taking them to the vet? I didn't know until after I read this book.

There is a world of treatments, both mainstream and what I'd call home-health care that apply to dogs and cats that make them feel better and give them better quality of life when they're sick.

This author takes you on her journey - her quest - to give her dog the best quality of life possible, even while struggling with a dread disease.

It is enlightening. Thanks Deb Estes for sharing your story. It is bound to help millions!!!

More About the Author

When Apollo and I were going through this ordeal, I couldn't find any resource - book or otherwise - to help me make these hard decisions. So, I created the book that I wished I could have found then. As Apollo and I took this journey together, I searched for answers and the only place I could find them was in my heart.

This book is for you - first, to know you're not alone facing this - and second to be a source of pertinent information and true comfort during this difficult time.
Apollo lasted eleven months longer than anyone expected, so each and every day, I questioned my intentions. "Was I honoring him as a living being by trying to extend his life (and quality of life) by trying all of these traditional, alternative and cutting edge options? Did he really want this? Would I have wanted someone to do this for me?"

Some people say I pushed the envelope too far, but I knew my dog, so I was at peace.
This book is intended to give you permission to listen - not only to your vet - but to your heart and to your dog, when you have to make these difficult decisions.
I used my medical background as a bridge and I took good notes throughout the ordeal, so that I could tell the story that would not only honor Apollo, but your pet as well.
I hope this book serves as a resource to assist you on your path. I wish you peace and above all - no regrets!
