Guest meakah Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I am so sorry it has creeped its way back so soon. I have a friend that went through this with her sheltie. She did chemo for a few months and all seemed ok but then she started to not respond to chemo and the swelling in her throat started to limit her breathing. She let her go only a few months after being diagnosed (she was 6 years old). Such a devastating disease. I am so sorry you both are having to go through this. :grouphug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaisyDoodle Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 My Cosmo went in and out of remission several times. When her nodes would enlarge again, the vet would just do another round of chemo. We did five rounds of a modified Wisconsin protocol the first year (five treatments each time). After we had maxxed out the adrio (which is cardiotoxic), we went to the oncologist at Angel Memorial in Boston and tried a couple of salvage protocols. We finally settled on CCNU, which worked wonders. She had three treatments of that and her nodes never enlarged again. We lost her 2 1/2 years after diagnosis, at the age of 14 1/2 when she could no longer walk (she also had degenerative myelopathy--doggie MS). Lymphoma is a huge roller coaster of a diagnosis, but it can be controlled, if not cured.

tornadosgirl Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) Penny update ========= We took Penny to the e-vet at about 1am this morning. I had gotten up and checked on her and she just seemed to be "out of it". Not responding to me, though she was awake. The small area of bruising near her arm pit yesterday evening had tripled in size in less than 8 hours. So I just said we have to take her, to make sure she's not in any pain. The e-vet said she was dehydrated (despite drinking gallons of water every day), so she got some IV fluids. Her blood work came back substantially normal, just one low value that really wasn't significant. They wanted to keep her, but we wanted to bring her home. So we did. I went to work today for a little while and came home to find her jumping around like her usual silly self. I let her and Tornado out to pee and they both raced around the yard- she growls this funny growl, trying to be so fierce! So I'd say she's 95% herself. I can just look in her eyes and see she's not feeling totally great. So tomorrow we'll figure out what our options are. Our regular vet did mention the CCNU, but the Oncologist that has been working with her said there's only a 3% success rate with that. There's also a study she could get in if she is B-Cell Lymphoma, but we haven't had her typed, due to the cost. So we don't know if it's B or T. Ultimately, I just don't want her to experience ANY more pain. Edited October 21, 2008 by tornadosgirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
