Have you looked into making your dog (even if large) a service animal? I believe this can be accomplished with a letter from your doctor saying it "eases your anxiety"
If you do this, the dog should be able to remain in the cabin with you on a commercial flight.
Should this not be an option, you're looking at about 25k even if you're flexible with dates, and that would be on something that may require a stop (which wouldn't be terrible for an older dog on a long trip).
hope that helps a bit, good luck!
