Guest taylorsmom Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Oh, Karen--I hope that Monty heals quickly and with as little pain as possible (now that he is on a good dose of the tramadol!). You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greytmonty Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 the pathology report came back: Monty has high grade lymphosarcoma. They do not stage it without an oncologist examining him , checking his nodes, etc. We will make the appointment at Penn asap. I am trying to compose myself as Sam comes home in a minute and tomorrow is his birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Greensleeves Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Oh, God, Karen, that sucks. I'm posting the link for Marvista Vet's page on lymphosarcoma; some of the info there is scary, but we got so much from their site when trying to educate ourselves about Nelly's kidney disease: http://www.marvistavet.com/html/canine_lymphoma.html I saw this, too: It is the most common form of cancer in both humans and small animals but, fortunately, is also one of the most responsive to treatment.

Thank you. I think the stuff we have read is pretty pessimistic. Without treatment, 60 days. With treatment, up to one year. We will talk with the oncologist, but our feeling is just because one CAN do a treatment doesn't mean one SHOULD. We will have to evaluate quality of life issues.
