I don't usually comment on videos. But my mom's dog was diagnosed with lymphoma 5wks ago. This week was his 3rd week in chemo (we live in France, protocoles might be different). It's suspected it's a T cell lymphoma, and it is stage 5 with cancerous cells found in the bone marrow samples. As scary as this all sounds, his specialist told us yesterday that during the pre treatment exam, he found that the lymph nodes had gone back to their original size, meaning he is in rémission. All the results from the tests they ran in on day 1 of chemo haven't even come back, including the phenotyping (they took out a lymph node for biopsy I think?) We are so relieved, still recovering from the whiplash, but so grateful for the time we have left with our super good boy Tag.

My sweet boy passed away yesterday afternoon from lymphoma. I wish we had started chemo sooner but the first vet we went to had him on prednisone without getting a proper sample from his lymph nodes. She told us the results were inclusive and that maybe it was a tick borne infection even though all of his nodes were swollen. I went and got a second opinion from and an actual oncologist and they confirmed it it was lymphoma and so were going to start chemo this month but his body shut down yesterday morning as fluids kept draining out of his rear end. All I could do was hold him until he passed, it was the first time hearing him cry since he was a pup. I wish I had found this video sooner and had gotten a second opinion immediately before putting him on the prednisone without a proper diagnosis. I love him so much and I really miss him right now.

@@jeanneleongmitchell1375 sorry to hear about your pup as well, my heart is with you and your family. My pups lymphoma was in his intestinal tract as well we believe it caused a blockage and finally burst leading to septic shock that morning. Please keep an eye on yours and any sign of fluids draining from the rear end as it can kill within several hours. Mine was able to walk and still play up until that very morning. Death from septic shock isn’t pretty and can largely go unnoticed if you don’t know what the signs are. At five and seven years old they still have so much life and love to give but I think that time is irrelevant for them. Every moment they spend loving us even when we’re away all they do is look forward to the moments they have with us I think maybe they’re here to teach us that. To love deeper than our own understanding. Going forward I wish for nothing but joy and peace for your pup and your family. I wish that each day feels like a lifetime of love you all can share in and lose track of the stress and heartache.

Our dog was diagnosed this morning. He is a jack russell that will be 15 this year. They are giving him 3 to 6 months. Our vets are telling us that chemo is rough on dogs. It is also extremely costly. Our vet said the chemo would just be extending his life and not getting rid of the lymphoma. We want the rest of the time he has to be good, we do not want him to suffer. They are going to be putting him on a steroid to keep him comfy and keep the lymphnodes from swelling more. We think this will be the best option for him. He also has luxating patellas and I am noticing his knee is bothering him to where he sometimes chooses not to move. So with his age and his knees and we have sort of been battling cancers with him for some time. Last year he had this huge flare up with bumps all over his body out of nowhere and for the 1st time. They didn't come back as lymphoma but as a different cancer. They removed all the lumps that came back as cancer. The surgery was very rough on him and we just cannot do that to him again. He healed up and no other bumps...until 2 weeks ago his neck swelled up, we took him in the next day. They thought maybe it was an abcess in his mouth and treated it like that (there are more details but this is long already). Then that was not fixing the issue, it helped the swelling but the lymphnodes stayed a bit swollen. So we took him back and they asperated the lumps. And here we are. So now i just need to figure out how to be happy with him when I know these are the last months we have with him. We are so heartbroken for our little guy.

I am watching this video because a few months ago I took my dog to a holistic vet for her kidney disease, and during a physical exam, they noticed that she had slightly protruding mandible lymph nodes. They didn’t seem to worry since this was the first time I took her there and her previous vets never said anything about her lymph nodes being enlarged as far as they said that could be normal for her. I regularly pet her neck and did not feel anything different even though they said she slightly enlarged nodes. The thing is my dog suffers from year-round, allergies, as well as bad teeth, and I know that local infections such as bad teeth and allergies, can also cause those particular nodes be enlarged. I haven’t gotten an aspirate because unfortunately we don’t have any money. We are extremely financially strapped right now due to repairs that we needed to do on the house. But I know that for her kidney disease had blood work done and her blood work came back normal.

Thanks for the great video. My 9 years old Rottweiler has been diagnosed with tumor on his spleen 4 months ago and they immediately removed the spleen and tumor. Tumor itself was around 4.5 pound and there was no rupture. On 19th August vet did a CBC test and he said he is doing good all values are great. 2 weeks ago his anemia started again, I immediately realized from his lips became pale pink. I brought him to same vet 8 days ago and he did CBC test and he said most probably his Hemangiosarcoma metastasized and he said there is a decrease from 5 million to 4 million for some value and he also said there is 28% blood transfussion normally it should be between 40% and %60. His organs are doing fine. His poop and pee are great. He breathes normally. Vet also said his organs are in great condition. He is getting tired more easily and sometimes he is getting really exhausted. He only rejects to eat his Hill's Metabolic diet food( he has been using it for 8 months because of his Arthiritis)other than that he is eating everything. He drinks good amount of water. His current weight is 90lbs and he has been on the weight since his spleen removal operation. He is not loosing a weight. I have been using Yunnan Baiao for 6 days. I give him 2 pills 3 times a day. I have 15 boxes of Yunnan. Today I also ordered Apocaps after watching your video. I will start to use it tomorrow. I hope it will not cause a problem if I give him Yunnan and Apocaps at the same time. At this stage of the game do you have any other suggestion doctor? Thanks for your videos.

This past August my Bella turned 13. On Thursday, Sept 12, I noticed she wasn't eating, was moving slowly and with difficulty. She was breathing rapidly even in the house. I felt a lump around her groin and under her chin. I took her for a walk which she was always excited about and she walked very slowly. I read that dogs her size live to the age of 10-13. On the Monday I took her to the vet and he felt other lumps and said she has lymphoma. He prescribed appetite stimulants and prednisone for inflammation. She improved for a few days with her eating and moving but then got worse. She could barely get up the step into the house and her back legs weren't working well. And would only eat meat or cream cheese. At her age, this diagnosis does not give her much time. The next Monday, a week after the vet visit, she had trouble walking but nothing really bad. At night she went to sleep on the bedroom floor. I woke up around 3:30 am and she wasn't there. I looked around for her and she had collapsed in a doorway on the other side of the house. I don't know how she got there if she had trouble getting up and walking. The next day,Tuesday 9/26, she had gotten worse and was not eating at all and and not moving other than breathing. Her arms and legs didn't work. Her head wouldn't stay up. Her autonomic functions were the only things working and blinking. No sounds. It was like she was in a coma. I fed her milk on a syringe sometimes she would swallow, by reflex. In the evening she breathed her last breath. I've been reading about lymphona. It hits hard and fast and no cure. Less than 2 weeks since seeing the symptoms, she was gone.

He was diagnosed with Multicentric B cell Lymphoma Stage 4a, with spleen and liver involvement. We tried CHOP. Half way through the protocol the glands in his neck came up huge. So we swapped to a rescue med Lomustine. He had one dose of that and it reduced his white cell count to 0.1. Due to the swollen neck glands he developed aspirate pneumonia and because of the white cell count he had nothing to fight that, he was admitted to hospital and within 15 hrs he had developed sepsis. I drove to the hospital at 1.45 am and we helped him over Rainbow Bridge. That was 3 weeks ago and I still can’t believe he is gone. 😂

Could that test be run later? Thinking I should call and ask them. Her oncology appointment is 10/8 (2 weeks post op). I hope that’s not too long a wait, but know she needs to heal some.

But then next day right back to normal and fine. I won't do chemo as it it won't cure it, but would prolong her life 6-18 months but not in a happy way. So steroids only for my pup. Best of luck to you and choose what makes you and pup happy. P.S. So many vets around me who are over prescribing drugs/just out for the money and make all feel guilty if they don't shell out a fortune to have dog live an extra year---think dog health getting like human pharma con game to be honest. Just my own experience.

My dog has been given chemo tablets for lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract does this sound right it is from a vet that is but more than a vet but not an oncologist

Hi Dr Sue, thank you for this wealth of information! My dog was diagnosed with lymphoma in January and we started COP therapy. My vet said not to test for B-cell Vs T-cell and to save my funds for the chemo (even though I had the funds to pay for this information and was willing to do it so I could have more info re his prognosis). Now that he has started the chemo and his lymph nodes have all shrunk, is it too late to find out the type? Many thanks, Charlotte

8/27/2021: Wow my 4 y/o chug (chihuahua/pug) also started treatment for lymphoma in January. We didn’t have the funds for the B-cell/T-cell testing and it seemed like the results were not too crucial for her oncology team so we decided to start treatment right away and skip the testing. My dog finished the CHOP protocol July8th and was declared in remission, but this past Tuesday we noticed the lymph nodes in her neck got swollen again. She saw her oncologist today and her white and red blood cell count was good and her liver was clear, our doctor said my dog is at stage 2 /5. She got a dose of Lomustine and sent us home with Prednisone. We plan to go back in a week to see if there’s any progress and go from there. Today we also asked about doing a biopsy to test the type. Half-way through her treatment my dog got a new oncologist so we asked her current doctor what she thinks of the test. She said the testing wouldn’t really change my dogs treatment plan. I thought I’d just share my experience 9/8/2021: We will be coming to the doctor every 3 weeks and alternate Lomustine and Mitoxantrone until she gets 3 doses of each. We will be finishing the prescription for Prednisone but no refill. We can no longer feel her lymph nodes and it seemed she only have minor side effects from the first round of Lomustine but that only lasted for 1 day. The doctor said she is in remission again! Let’s hope stays in remission!!🙏🏼🙏🏼

@@Mareebearz thank you for commenting 😊 my sweet girl passed away February 6th. We continued treatments and increased frequency until the side effects made her feel sicker than the cancer itself. Eventually she stopped responding to treatment and her lymph nodes would shrink only for a few days after treatment. We ended up having a doctor come to our backyard and we set up some pillows and blankets to sit together with Roxie. I played with her toys with her, cuddled her, and gave her some carrots (her favorite treat.) We had some close friends stop by before the doctor got there, it was as wholesome and peaceful as a situation like this could be. I read a beautiful poem to my family once she was sedated. She was her spunky self until the last moments, she was still running around and barking in the backyard. I’m glad we decided to put her to sleep when we did and she’ll live in our heart forever. Check out this TikTok I made if you’d like to see Roxie! vm.tiktok.com/TTPdSKpaAC/ To anyone in SoCal I recommend the services from Home Pet Euthanasia of Southern California. And if you have any questions regarding her treatment feel free to ask

My dog just diagnosed has probably stage 3 all nodes swollen. I have 12 days to wait til my appt just for a consultation with the oncologist and was thinking of pred in the meantime as I am afraid she lapses into the next stage while waiting. They cannot get her in earlier and I tried other places but you say no pred before chemo. What do you suggest ?

Not judging those who think differentlly here. I just don't see the point of prolonging my dog's life 8-12 months just to make myself feel better whilst making her be in more pain and misery via chemo treatments. Steroids give her a few months feeling great. That is the most humane thing to do I think. Deciding this week for my pup Jordi ;(

He says she doesn’t have much time left. But she’s still acting mostly normal. We love this dog so much please let me know if there’s any possible way I can ease her pain or potentially treat the cancer and help her stay alive longer?? I would really appreciate it

My dog is fluffy. I noticed. I would say petting them under their neck will give you a good chance of noticing. That is where I felt my guys. I always let him under his neck. Under his ears and one day, like overnight I felt the lump. The vet couldn’t get me in for two weeks. I regret not demanding going in sooner.

If its a large swollen lump they'll do a biopsy $500 just to tell you they have cancer. You have 3-4 weeks life expectancy. Or put your poor pet through chemo and you get 8-24 months. Your pet is dying, don't drain your account and put them through hell. Chemo is $500 per session every two weeks for 10-12 months.. 20% will make it another two years while doing chemo. Let them enjoy their last month, don't make them go though that.

People smile for multiple reasons. To make a presumption and judgement about her “smiling” is juvenile. I have a KZbin channel myself and what she’s doing isn’t easy. She needs to project a positive persona to engage and retain those who need this message. If she’s not entertaining, it effects her reach. If she speaks without smiling, she will not give people the hope they are desperately seeking.
