Re: Ethical Issue: Cancer Treatment Decisions

My 2.5 yr old female Coco was diagnosed with Lymphoma 3 weeks ago. I felt a small lump on her neck and brought her in to see the vet. She was not acting any differently at all, very playful, great appetite, etc....business as usual.
After some testing the diagnosis was Lymphoma. I decided to do chemo. We started this past Monday. I am taking it day by day, seeing how things go for her. As of today the swelling is completely gone. Her first day she threw up but is much better and is eating. Her quality of life will dictate if the treatment continues and for how long.
I am sorry for what everyone has had to endure with losing their best friends. It is terrible.
