About Anubis

Anubis was a 12-year-old neutered male Labrador. The first sign was an enlarged lymph node noticed on April 27, 2026. Within weeks he was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma, confirmed by PARR and flow cytometry (CD8+ peripheral T-cell, stage IIIa). The disease proved refractory to chemotherapy, and he died on June 27, 2026, surrounded by the people who loved him.

Through his illness, his family scanned the tumor daily with Scaniverse, a LiDAR-based 3D capture app that produces real-world-scale models. Those scans, the full treatment timeline, and daily quality-of-life observations are all recorded here in one place. The record stays up.

Why this site exists

When a dog gets a refractory T-cell diagnosis, the owner goes searching and finds almost nothing helpful online. This log is public so that the next person who searches finds at least one honest, detailed account of what it looks like day to day — and so that researchers have a complete, longitudinal dataset of tumor size, treatments, and quality of life rather than scattered single-visit snapshots.

During treatment it also gave his oncologist objective measurements over time. That accuracy still matters: the numbers are left exactly as they were recorded.

About the data

The headline number is tumor area, an ellipse footprint estimated from two measurements, length and width, using A = π/4 · l · w. We lead with area because length and width are the two axes a surface scan resolves reliably; depth runs below the skin where a scan cannot see. When a depth measurement does exist, an ellipsoid volume is shown too. Both are crude estimates, but they are consistent, which makes the trend meaningful. All measurements are metric. The full dataset is downloadable as CSV from the link in the footer.
