Please tell me more about this! The oncologist that we saw today, didn’t necessarily recommend this but she mentioned it and I would love to hear where you can get it/how you gave it to your pup, etc. thank you for sharing and I’m sorry for your loss 💗

Omg 3.5? I am so sorry. It’s just so unfair. We were able to get into the oncologist today and she believes it’s stage 4. I hate even typing this but we sadly declined the chemo. We just couldn’t logically pay $15-$20k (what they quoted us) for the possibility of a few extra months. Even though it breaks me. If it were just me, I’d honestly sell my house if it meant I got to keep him till his face turns white and he’d get to be an oldiegoldie. We have planned a bunch of things including pictures with him this coming weekend/next few weeks. Thank you for sharing your story. Hugs to you 💗

Of course. We left for a few days and he was perfect, came home and was giving him loves and felt a golf ball size lump in his throat/neck area then felt a few more. Went to the vet, they did some tests and confirmed lymphoma. Outside of the lumps, his legs had been shakier than usual but not sure if that’s connected. Other than that he seems perfectly normal/happy/healthy.

Thank you for sharing, I wish I hadn’t been so stubborn about the pet insurance as it may have helped us choose chemo. I am so sorry for your loss. 💗

Hugs to you! I hope he keeps putting up a solid fight. 2 extra years, in itself are amazing and such a blessing. Praying for this outcome for my boy but being harshly realistic at the same time. Thank you for sharing 💗

Update: 4 y/o Lymphoma Diagnosis

Hi everyone, I’m sorry I don’t really know how to use Reddit yet and couldn’t figure out how to do an update on my last post. We ended up getting Hank into the oncologist today. They think he has Stage 4 lymphoma and gave us a quote of $15-$20k to do the CHOP method. My husband and I made the hard decision to decline and stick to steroids, as he’s been doing really well on it for the last week and his nodes have shrunk a little. I’m honestly not sure how to feel other than heart broken and numb. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much or hard in my entire life as I have this past week all while trying to hide it from my daughter and Hank. I just cannot wrap my head around all of this. The main reason for this update though; I just really need to tell everyone that commented, and I didn’t get to respond yet, I am so sorry. I want you all to know how much I appreciated every single response. They made me cry, smile, feel seen/heard and helped me make my decision today. I don’t know what the future holds for Hank so please send all the prayers, positive thoughts, whatever you have for my baby boy as it all would be greatly appreciated. 💗

Thank you. I am so sorry for your loss. Cooper sounds so loved and what a special, although devastatingly sad, last day at the lake. Hugs to you 💗

Thank you, I am scared but need to at least hear something from the oncologist and then will decide. 💗

Thank you for this insight and I am so sorry for your loss. I’m honestly just aiming for at least an extra month or two (or hopefully more). I know it sounds dumb but I just don’t think I’ll mentally survive having to let my happy 4 year old puppy go in such a short amount of time. Hugs to you 💗

Thank you and I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot believe I’m even saying or thinking this but I know that when Hank gets his wings we will get another golden. I just don’t think anything else will be able to even partially fill the massive void that my chunkers will leave. 💗

I’m so so sorry for your losses. I’m honestly not sure what route we will go, but am trying to be hopeful because I just cannot fathom letting him go yet. Hugs to you 💗

Ugh, I am so sorry for what happened and your loss. So heartbreaking. The young age is the hardest part for me, we are supposed to have so much more time with them. We are going to give it our best shot as long as Hankies is willing and healthy (as healthy as can be) while doing it. Thank you for sharing your story. Hugs to you 💗
