Bad news  :'(

She has lost more weight and my vet can feel the lumps again....

I'm not putting her through more chemo, i cant do it to her, it makes her so ill...so now i've just gotta let my baby die  :'( :'(
My vet thinks it will only be a couple of months, a few at best  :'(

Cant believe this is happening, she isn't even 6yrs old....and what is Rocky gonna do ? He suckles on her at night....oh God this is so crap.

What i think i will do is see if she copes with 3 weekly chemo......but vet is hopefully that she might

That would be brilliant if she only had to have chemo every three weeks....sending healing vibes to Issey and yourself!  :Luv: :hug:

No she hasnt put any weight on  :( but she hasnt lost anymore either.
She is alot more like her old self again but this is because she has had no treatment for 2wks.

The lymth nodes in her leg and neck have gone down which shows that chemo was working but we just dont know how long they will stay like that without the chemo.

I am taking her back next thursday to be weighed and if she hasnt lost any weight and is well in herself then my vet wants to go ahead with IV chemo that day...and then every 3wks (rather than every week) with preds (steroids) every other day

What i think i will do is see if she copes with 3 weekly chemo......but vet is hopefully that she might

 :)  Glad to hear she seems alot better.  It must be really hard trying to decide what to do for the best when you get conflicting advice.  What does your vet think? maybe he/she has experience of both treatments and can help you decide, poor you  :hug:   hope tomorrows visit goes ok.

Awww thanks for asking  :hug:
She is alot better in herself and has started to eat again (she is having no treatment at all)

Going to the vets tomorrow for a weigh in ...

Then got to decide what to do,
1 oncologist wants to just give her steroids one a day everyother day and only start chemo again if any lumps come up
but the other oncologist wants her to have IV every 3wks aswell as the steroids

I really dont know what to do ?

Just got back from the vets...

He was surprised to see how much more weight she has lost!
She is very weak and not eating....she couldnt jump from the table to the side which was a gap of a few inches  :(

We are stopping treatment !

If she hasnt improved in a few days then she will have a scan to see if its actually the Lymphoma that has spread and is making her ill rather than the treatment

Hopefully she will start to feel better without all the chemo going into her body, please keep your fingers crossed, send prayers and vibes, anything just make her get better.......

because if its the Lymphoma then i cant let her suffer like this  :'( :'( :'( :'(

I do hope she start feeling better now. I dont know much about IV chemo, Boy never had IV they put him on tablets from the start but i was told its for rest of his life .
Did your vet say why she has lost so much weight? I was told with steroid they start puting on weight , well thats what happened to Boy the first few months when he was on 1 tab twice a day and then they cut the dose.
Sending lots of good vibes for Issey. :hug: :hug:

She is losing weight because she isnt eating  :(  even with being on the steroid tablets, so that goes to show how shitty nshe must be feeling.
I am waiting for my vet to find out if we can cut the dose

Plan of action -

She now has IV chemo every 3wks with a Chemo tablet 3 days after each time......this could go on forever (cant see that)
My vet is going to speak to the oncologist about cutting down the steroid tablets as he feels the high dose is what is making her ill.

~She has lost a whole KG in weight too (thank goodness she had some to spare)


She wasnt as upset today after her treatment......
