Small Cell Lymphoma/IBS/Pancreatitis Questions & Support Please❤️❤️❤️

Hi all. Our little 7yr old "Heinz 57" black cat, InkyDink, was just diagnosed with small cell, multicentric Lymphoma 3 weeks ago. It started in the beginning of March when she started hiding and crouching when sitting (very unusual for a very social and loving baby). We took her to the ER at 2am one night and they said it was pancreatitis. Long story short, after treating this very painful condition for 3 weeks, the SNAP test revealed no more Pancreatitis, however she was still not doing much better.
We sought out a board certified internist, a:kitty2:nd he said we had to decide now on exacting the diagnosis. So we opted for the exploratory biopsies, so we could begin a more effective treatment. 5 days later we recieved that dreadful call, with the Dr telling us they found small cell Lymphoma. However it was not typical. He described it as "multicentric small cell lymphoma" - it was not typical, because where the lymphoma was "supposed to be" (i.e.:intestines) it was not, rather it was in her lymph nodes. He consulted with 2 different oncologists, and they decided 2 mg. Chlorambucil (3 x wk) with 5 mg. Prednisone (1 daily) and 1/2 cyproheptidine (1 x day), and B12 shot weekly.
The first week went ok, Inky was really knocked on her butt the day after chemo... But when we went for her weekly CBC last Monday, her white cell count was really low, so we had to skip a week of the chemo. This past Monday, her CBC went back to normal, and we resumed chemo, but now only 2 x week. Again, she is knocked on her butt.
I can't believe this is all happening!! She was normal right up until this onset of pancreatitis. [emoji]128560[/emoji][emoji]128560[/emoji][emoji]128560[/emoji] Inky is that "once in a lifetime" extra special baby to us. We have 2 other kitties, but somehow Inky endeared herself to us in such a crazy-special way since she was a baby.... She's been the most affectionate, loving, playful, cuddly kitty we've ever had. (And I've had cat fur babies all my life).
Watching her post-chemo is awful awful awful.
We've done soooooo much research online, and I found this site, and was really impressed by so many of the threads, that I decided it was the right one for me. I tried the Yahoo group, but I found it next to impossible to navigate, (the way it is set up)...
So back to Inky, -we bought the Life Gold supplement, but she has only been on it for a few days. We have purchased every novel, organic, high-protein, no grain foods known to man (only the ones made in the USA), as she refused the venison/pea diet... She is eating, and the cyprohep is amazing. She currently weighs 11.5 lbs, as we are determined to maintain this weight on her so she can fight this beast.
In my heart I have little rest, as this roller coaster of good days, (good hours), vs. bad days is heart wrenching. The internist can only offer, "cancer does what cancer wants to do, and it can go into remission, but it can certainly take her too." The latter scares me so badly (as I sit and cry while writing this..)
Has anyone been through this with a cat of a similar age, and if so, can you offer me any light at the end of this dark tunnel? I want to believe there IS something we can do besides just giving ALL of ourselves to her needs 24/7 with hopeful and loving hearts... Does anyone here have success stories???
The Dr told me there were no large cells found in any of the biopsies. The oddest thing was that where the cancer "should have been, it was not" ........
Help, please.... Anything you all can offer is most welcome. tia

You will find a lot of threads on this site having to do with small cell lymphoma, IBD and pancreatitis by using the SEARCH space, which is at the top of the page just underneath the brown bar.  Type in the words (i.e. small cell lymphoma) and then click the SEARCH button at the end of the line and a entire list of threads having to do with that subject will pop up.  You can then click on any of the threads to read them.  If you see something from someone that you would like more information about, you can Private Message them by putting your cursor on their name, then selecting Send PM (for Private Message) and then write them your question.  When you get a private message from anyone, you will be notified by a pop-up box when you log in which will say You have a Private Message, and if you just click on it the box , you will be taken to your private message(s).

I have no experience with lymphoma, IBD or pancreatitis so I have no more to add here, but you will find lots of people by using the search and reading previous threads.  i'm really sorry for the diagnosis and your fear about it.  If it helps any, a friend of mine had a cat diagnosed with an odd form of leukemia years ago.  He didn't want to put her through chemo at the time of diagnosis and opted to try more natural treatments.  He used the Life Gold as well, and while her blood counts stayed on the high side of normal or a little above normal, she never went into full blown active disease again and lived another 13 years!  I do think your vet is right, though -- cancer is going to do what it's going to do, and it can go into remission or not.  If the chemo knocks your Inky on her butt too much, you might try using just the Life Gold and getting blood counts and see how she does with just that and not the chemo. 

Thank you so much for the reply! Yes, I searched and read thru all the topics pertaining to lymphoma, however I did not see a topic thread with small cell distributed in lymph nodes, and not intestines.. Thus the new post
My husband and I are keeping our hopes up for the Life Gold. She snubs food when we put it in, but her feline-whims are not up for negotiation with this until we've had a good roll. So I have elected to mix LG with a little water, suck it into a syringe, and give it to her orally. (She actually takes it well, and doesn't fight it.
Just as when in the beginning, she wouldn't eat (back when she had pancreatitis... She refused to eat, but for me knowing how dangerous 1-2 days of no food or water can be, I gave those to her very carefully (and safely) through a syringe. I don't tolerate "no" very well on her or my other babies... We are custodians of our beloved animals, and must do all we are capable of to ensure their health and well being.
