Lymphoma Diagnosis in Go Go
 My beloved friend Go Go has been diagnosed with lymphoma today. Now what? We will call the oncologist tomorrow. She has had a rough breathing thing going on for about a month and we treated her for a urinary tract infection in June. She seems pretty good although she had been getting a little more tired on walks than usual. Does anyone know what I should do? I can't imagine 4 to 6 weeks. I have read that even with chemo, they only get another year on average. Thank you for any suggestions and your own experiences. George and Go Go

I'm sorry to hear about your dog's condition. I've read in an article that the life expectancy of a dog with lymphoma is between 9 and 12 months. However, it is possible to send a dog's lymphoma into remission with constant medical care, and regular chemotherapy. And with proper care, the survival rate of a dog with lymphoma can be raised to 50%. I hope your dog will win over this disease.
