Unhappy Confirmed - lymphoma

The vet called this afternoon. I feel sick. We don't know yet what we are going to do. Duke is fine but really wondering what the heck is wrong with us! We are going to a tea party this afternoon and taking him with. He's going to wear a patriotic bandana.

It's probably not likely he can get into a trial at CSU because of the seizure disorder and maybe some kidney issues. We are still going to try and hope against hope. God's a big God.

We are also holding out for a miracle.

We know for sure it has not gone into his chest. They took xrays yesterday. Don't know yet about his belly so that's probably going to be tomorrow. Then, when we know what stage - we'll decide the rest.

Is it true that even with chemo that the expectancy is only a year to 18 months? Tell me that's not true. Please tell me it's not true. I love him so. WE love him so.

I'm sorry about your news. Give him a HUGE hug and tell him you love him. Take a breath and think about your plan tomorrow. It's a lot to take all at once.

That makes for a hard day...my thoughts are with you.

I don't know anything about Lymphoma but surely others here will be able to answer your question.

I just want you to know how sorry I am for this news. You & Duke have been around as long as me and Daisy have been.

You know I love you, Cindy. And Duke will always and forever be one of my favorites

Cindy,

I wish I could be there with you and Duke, but I can't. But I can send my prayers and thoughts to you, and what ever research I can find.

Hugs for all of you

Nancy, Hailey and especially little bro Mitch

So very sad to hear the news. I have worn your shoes before and do not envy the decisions you will need to make in the coming months. Our thoughts are with you and Duke. Please keep us updated.

I am so sorry to hear this sorrowful news about Duke. He will be in my thoughts constantly, and I so hope his lymphoma is at a very early stage and the better type for treatment. I hope too he follows in the pawsteps of Miss Meggie and outlives the statistics with a waggty tail. I have lost three dogs to cancer - each of them so very dear to me- and I empathize with the difficulty of hearing such terrible news but then seeing your unsuspecting buddy who doesnt understand such things. . . Kisses and hugs to Duke. Spoil him like crazy. . .
