Possible Lymphoma ?


 Share

Recommended Posts

Sorry to hear Kaffy.

I was in your shoes not too long ago. I know exactly how you feel and how confused you are in terms of your options. It will also be important to find out if the Lymphoma is T cell or B cell.

In terms of treatment, if your dog is healthy and budget allows it, I suggest you go for it. After quite a bit of research, you'll find that many dogs live for quite some time after treatment.

Feel free to PM me with any questions.

Thanks so much for your support. I have my girl booked in tomorrow for her ultrasound, blood work up and first bout of chemo. She is still happy and healthy, to look at her you wouldnt know she is not well. I am happier knowing we can buy her more time, 4-6 weeks is too soon, I cant deal with that, not when I may get atleast another 12 happy healthy months out of her. Nothing compares to losing her, her life is the most important thing here but there is an added sadness. I had planned to breed her this season, she is due in any day now. Obviously that wont be happening. I had planned this mating for years, it was a very special mating and I had Bullmastiff breeders worldwide interested in this litter. Im sad I will not have a son or daughter of hers, something I desperately wanted, she is such a beautiful bitch, I have had great success with her and she means the world to me. The whole situation is just shit. At a time when I am supposed to be excited about new life from my beautiful girl Im devestated that Im losing her and the dream I had, instead. She is only 4 and a half, Life is so cruel :cry:

Life is very very cruel sometimes.

Best of luck with her treatment

Kate I know you had huge plans for your lovely Kalais and it is heart breaking that they won't happen. I know how special she is to you and I really hope that you get the extra time to spoil and love her, it's so heart breaking when they leave us too soon which they always seem too. Huge hugs for you both.

KM, have you considered holistic support for your girl while she undergoes chemo?

I found it great for my old stafford when he was dxd with MCT and was originally given 12-18 months with chemo. We got another 6 years together.. I realise it's a different cancer but it can't hurt to try if funds allow the extra expense...

Wishing you many happy times together.
