If what Dragondawg says works out - I want to add this. When my mom's Golden Sandy had lymphoma a few years ago, the vet said chemo did NOT affect dogs the way it does humans, in terms of side effects. It was also surprisingly affordable.

In Sandy's case, the lymphoma grew like a fire with gasoline poured on it...and she was 11, nearly 12. She was sent to the Bridge.

It may be a long fight, but if it is a good chance of winnable,

You know PTrs will help, too! Don't be shy to ask!

HUGS!
