Re: Ethical Issue: Cancer Treatment Decisions

Sorry to hear about all of your dogs and their health difficulties. We miss Bob but still feel we made the right choice for him and us when we decided not to treat the lymphoma. He was young and tough but still died within three weeks. In contrast, our girl, Cookie, who is past 10 years old has now lived 7 months with virtually no treatment for the same rare lymphoma other than prednisone for the first six weeks and two powerful courses of antibiotics. She is in good spirits and is very active for a girl her age.

The only right answer is the one that works for you and your pet.
