They don't know for sure that is it, if that is determined we will go that route of course, but since Sunday he has had 6 different diseases, so I can't be sure of anything right now we have to wait for 3 weeks for a retest of his kidney functions etc. I am going to hope for the best I just lost myOriginally Posted by Shorty14788
Did they say if they wanted to do an aspirate of the lymph nodes? It could help determine if he does have lymphosarcoma (also known as lymphoma).
It is treatable but there is no cure. Basically, its cancer in the lymphatic system. With chemo, and steriods... most have about 1 - 2 years depending on how well they respond and how advanced it is. There are exceptions to the rule... my clinic treated a dog who made it 5 years after his diagnosis. I also have a friend whos cat was diagnosed with it at 6 months old. They told her that with treatment she had 6 months to live... she will be 3 years old soon. She has been in remission for about a year and a half.
