<p>Please keep fingers crossed that all is okay with my best buddy. Last year at this time she was Dx'd with lymphoma and we did a course of chemo, which was successful and gave us a great year with her feeling great and energetic. However, I recently felt something I hadn't noticed before under her chin and am worried that it might have come back. We have an appt. with the vet Wed.

<p>Part is what I thought it might be and the other blindsided me.<br/><br/>He has progressive posterior paralysis, which is common among dogs with long spines as you all know. There is nothing that can be done...because it's degeneration of the spine, acupuncture will not do anything. He has no pain and won't from this because the signals between his back end and brain aren't firing correctly.<br/><br/>The lumps...tho they feel like the fatty tissue kind to me they aren't. It's his lymph nodes...in his neck, which are ones I originally felt, also in his shoulders which I didn't feel and behind his knees in his back legs. The ones in his back legs are not affecting his walking problem. So, my boy has lymphoma.<br/><br/>He has had the ones on his neck for several months and they have not grown which is good. If they do start to enlarge we will try steroids which can help shrink them for a time. Spent almost an hour talking with Dr Tremper about what can be done, what should be done and what his recommendations are. Basically...keep doing what I'm doing and watch. Trying to do even a needle biopsy (which he does not do..I would have to go to a oncologist) is expensive. Chemo doesn't work all that well on this and would be in the tens of thousands of dollars. <br/><br/>I have been with Dr Tremper for over 35 years. I know I can go and have all kinds of work ups done with someone else but I also know my vet and I know he will always be straight up with me on what I should do. And when your vet cries with you, you know he truly cares.<br/><br/>And I don't want to put Max thru all that stuff. He is 13. I want him happy and comfortable and as long as he is we will be grateful. </p> Sophie Updatetag:mycorgi.com,2015-02-03:1150197:Topic:19020172015-02-03T23:05:23.977ZChris Payerlhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/ChrisandSophie
We are about a month and a half into Sophie's chemo treatments. She started off great, then had trouble with the third treatment and wound up blowing a cluster seizure (related to the chemo or not, we don't know--- it may have just been her time as it was nearly a year since her previous one). She was supposed to do four weekly treatments, have a week off, then do four more weekly treatments. We took the break after three to let her body settle down again after the seizures, and then 5 weeks on…

We took the break after three to let her body settle down again after the seizures, and then 5 weeks on again. We are in the 4th of those 5 weeks after the break. This last treatment seemed to perk her up rather than bring her down! She went on a nice long walk Saturday, visiting her friends at the hardware store and mooching treats and rubs. Sunday, she enjoyed the blizzard conditions and Monday, exploring the drifts in the back yard. The vet has told us she is in early remission, but we should continue the treatments to ensure the nodes don't grow back right away. We are SO happy!!!! Sophie is such a little trooper!!! Never barks, growls, or shows her teeth regardless of what they do to her. They are amazed when I tell them about her hijinx at home; she is so sedate and calm for them. :-) We love her so!!!

Lymphoma in Corgis- A contender for one of the breed's genetic diseases?tag:mycorgi.com,2013-12-03:1150197:Topic:18256572013-12-03T18:26:49.179ZRachael & Wafflehttp://mycorgi.com/profile/icenado
<p>Of course, any cancer has underlying genetic components, but the environment plays a (sometimes significant) role in initiating cancer in an organism. I have seen SO MANY recent discussions about Corgis with lymphoma, and now my breeder has a dog that might have lymphoma, too, and she's greener-than-green, environmentally friendly, no-chemicals-ever, so the amount of environmental contributors are probably much lower than your average dog. </p>

<p>Is this something we've accidentally brought upon our breed? Because I may just be suffering from media-based bias, is there an AKC prevalence study on lymphoma across breeds? </p>

<p>Dear Corgi friends,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am overwhelmed with your love, prayers and support. Thank you for taking time to write me, I cherish each thoughtful message / reply. Please forgive me, for I cannot reply every message at this time.</p>
<p></p>
<p>To answer some of your questions. My vet was just as shocked as we were. Mocha and Vienna were born in different parts of Florida to 2 different breeders / parents and time of the year. We have never lived in a hazard area or purposely expose ourselves to cancer causing agent. Due to the cancer had already spread to the bone marrow (stage 5), chemo will not guarantee longer or better quality of life. We like to respectfully decline any financial assistance. However, we like to take this opportunity to encourage you to donate to Corgipals, Sunshine Corgi Rescue, ForPaws and CorgiAid. Open your hearts for a rescue corgi or volunteer to become a foster parent / transport.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Life is never fair, sometimes even cruel. I don't blame God or anyone for the recent events. My faith remain strong, I believe He will continue to provide me with strength to carry on. My wife and I had ran out of tears, perhaps still in shock. We think the best use of our time now is to focus on "Living and celebrate Vienna's life". Corgi nation is closer than ever, let us continue to help one another, be kind and pay it forward.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Love,</p>

<p><strong>Dec 23rd 2012 Update</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>Hello Corgi Friends,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Our beloved Vienna joined Mocha at the rainbow bridge 3 days ago, 1 day before the Mayan calendar ends. </p>
<p></p>
<p>It's been very difficult coming home without the barking, especially the lack of jingling sound from her collar. We miss having our kitchen floor clean , we miss her drive by licking and nose nudges during dinner time.</p>
<p></p>
<p>We find ourselves staring at the ground level constantly, hoping to find her beautiful smile. Everywhere we look brought back sweet memories.</p>
<p></p>
<p>No, we will never forget them, the holes in our hearts will never be filled, nor another dog will replace their place in our hearts, but in time, our hearts will heal. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Mocha and Vienna were our kids, the first 10 years of our marriage foundation. They have taught us so much and preparing us for human kids of our own someday. Until then, we will continue to foster and placing rescue corgis in need.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thank you for your messages and walking this journey with us. Y'all gave us strength, comfort and hope. We will be absent for a lil bit after the holidays, to get away, recharge and heal. Life is short, please hug your corgis, give them a real piece of juicy meat, take lots of picture / videos, go and create more memories.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Happy Holidays! Blessings to you all!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Love</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>

The vet is going to refer Mocha to an oncologist on Monday, in the mean time I will monitor him closely.</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p></p>
<p>We went to the vet this morning because Mocha's lymph nodes were swollen, it happened over night, the vet took some blood, we got Mocha to stop bleeding after 6 hours, turns out his platelet count is very low. The vet is going to refer Mocha to an oncologist on Monday, in the mean time I will monitor him closely.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Two things the vet and I can't figure out:</p>
<p>1.We don't know why his lymph nodes got so big in the last 24 hours?</p>
<p>2. How did his platelet count got so low? What exactly is causing his body to attack itself?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Please keep Mocha in your prayers. I feel like I heaven't been a good dad to him due to me being away - taking care of grandpa at the hospital :(</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>UPDATE#2</strong> Apr 21 - 9:41pm</p>
<p></p>
<p>After consulting with 4 different emergency vets within the Toronto area, we have a new game plan and it is a double edge sword:</p>
<p></p>
<p>We will treat Mocha with Prednisone / Doxycycline.</p>
<p></p>
<p>if Mocha reacts to this treatment positively, we may just bought some extra time for him but at the same time <a href="http://www.vet.purdue.edu/pcop/LymphomaWebContent.pdf" target="_blank">murky the Lymphoma diagnosis</a> for the Oncologist.</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>Mocha reacts to this treatment well because it was truly due to a legitimate tick borne disease / other infection. </p>
<p></p>
<p>On the other hand...</p>
<p>IF Mocha doesn't react to this treatment, he may not live pass this weekend. So, we've made the decision to do something rather than NOTHING at all. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Thank you for all your prayers, I really appreciate it.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>UPDATE#3</strong> Apr 22 - 7:50am</p>
<p></p>
<p>I slept for 4 hours, only to find myself in tears typing this. Mocha never left my side, this is not his style, he's always been independent and choose to sleep wherever he wants. Every breathe he takes sounds like a loud snore due to the size his lymph nodes, it's comforting to hear he's alive yet it breaks my heart to hear him breathe like this.</p>
<p></p>
<p>My wife and I cried all night, at the back of our head we already know this could be Lymphoma, all the signs are pointing in this direction, I'm selfishly hoping its just a curable tick borne disease. A million thoughts went through my head, how could this happen so fast? It was only a couple of weeks ago I took Mocha to see grandpa, everyone was praising how handsome and smart he was. Lord, how much I would give to see my boy's signature smile again? I want to see that nub wagging again. Something is terribly wrong and my head is not ready to accept this reality.</p>
<p></p>
<p>What I'm witnessing right now is only the beginning, do I have the strength to walk down this path with my friend? How do I make sure I'm not doing this for my own selfish fantasy? I just want Mocha to feel no pain. Perhaps this is what heart break really feels like? God please give me the strength and wisdom. I'm supposed to host a brunch in 4 hours, how am I supposed to do this?</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>UPDATE#4</strong> Apr 23 - 7:46am</p>
<p></p>
<p>Doxy and Pred are doing their job, Mocha's lymph nodes did calm down enough for him to breathe better. However, we are not out of the woods yet. Due to his platelet count being SO LOW, he does not meet the minimum requirement for chemo in the first place. The vet and I talked yesterday, he wants Mocha confined, he doesn't want him walked / bumped / bruised / due to possible internal bleeding. </p>
<p></p>
<p>While I was entertaining guest / patting Mocha yesterday, my prayers were answered, I was able to catch a glimpse of his signature smile. It reminds me to appreciate the little things in life, treasure each moment because they are not forever.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am at the hospital all day with Grandpa today, Mocha is at home with Vienna (my other corgi). I will talk to the vet sometime today, we'll determine what the next step is and when to take further tests because we can't do anything when Mocha can't stop bleeding.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I want to thank each one of you for writing, you have no idea how much it means to me and my wife (Silvia). We try to read them while we're on the go, sorry we may not be able to reply to all of them, but those comfort words do bring a smile to our face. Thank you once again and have a wonderful day!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>UPDATE#5</strong> Apr 23 - 6:34pm</p>
<p>Silvia just got off the phone conference with the vet / oncologist, cytology report came back - Mocha has Lymphoma :( Approximately 2 months to live. We will continue to limit his activity (avoid internal bleeding) and follow up with the vet tomorrow or later this week.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I overhead two chemo patients exchanging bucket lists on my lunch break today, their positive attitude and laughter changed my view. Instead of drowning in sorrow, I will focus on Mocha's living quality and creating new memories with his remaining time. "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones" Proverbs 17:22</p>
<p></p>
<p>MyCorgi.com exist because we got Mocha back in 03, we wanted to create a friendly community for owners to help each other, Thank you for all your well wishes and private messages! I hope you will give an extra hug and kiss to your corgis today, live life and laugh :) </p>
<p></p>
<p>PS: I'm open to bucket list suggestions :)</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>UPDATE 6</strong> Apr 25 5:27am</p>
<p>I've been up since 4am, couldn't fall back to sleep.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I took Mocha back to the Vet for a check up yesterday, he is now anemic, which means the cancer had already spread to the bone marrow (stage 5 Lymphoma). His gum is losing its colour, he is bleeding somewhere in the GI tract, black tarry stool. We are still waiting for his latest blood platelet result, it'll be in today. </p>
<p></p>
<p>From the outside Mocha is doing super, he had his signature smile when I let him sit in the front passenger seat, he loved watching the traffic, I snapped lots of pictures. He also love meeting new friends, I caught his nub wag yesterday at the vet, little gesture like that made my day.</p>
<p></p>
<p>While we were on our way to see grandpa last night, My wife and I started discussing euthanasia, its not a topic we want to talk about but a much needed one. We didn't get too far, I was trying to hold back tears while driving, my wife was balling her eyes out. It was very hard putting our game face on for grandpa.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Grandpa was super high last night (anti-psych rx), he was in an exceptionally good mood, even advised us on helping Mocha with Chinese medicine. It's been a while since we had a good laugh at the hospital, a much needed one.</p>
<p></p>
<p>After we got home, my wife suggested we take pictures in our photo studio. Mocha and Vienna were smiling the whole time. I was holding Mocha while taking pictures but I can't seem to relax and smile for them. My wife picked up on it, I'm a terrible liar.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have no problem falling asleep, but once I wake up in the middle of the night, I can't help but recheck Mocha's respiration rate, I jumped at any sound he makes. </p>
<p></p>
<p>It's 6:10am, I need to get some sleep. </p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>UPDATE 7 Apr 27 9:18am</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>Grandpa was discharged from the hospital yesterday, so I have more time to take care of Mocha now. Blood work came back, platelet count is up, red blood cell is down (boo), white blood cell is up (boo). During the day time Mocha is quite normal, at night his respiratory rate kept us up. We know if it's greater than 30 breathe per minute = clear sign of distress, but it always gets better in the morning.</p>
<p></p>
<p>My wife and I have finalized Mocha's euthanasia plan, we will have it at the vets office instead of home, we did ask the vet about donating his body for education / medical research, but apprently U of Guelph don't need any this year. Public cremation is the choice we'll make and the total cost will be $2XX CDN. I'm so glad that we were able to talk about it and made the decision together, since the plan is now in place, we can focus on the spoiling now.</p>
<p></p>
<p>12:24pm</p>
<p>I just took Mocha out, he made a healthy colour poop, NOT black and tarry!!! I'm sure the neighbour thinks I'm crazy, weird asian guy dancing with a bag of poop :) YES, healthy poop makes me smile.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>UPDATE 8 May 4th 12:04pm</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>Thank you for all your prayers and messages. Mocha is doing well, his respiratory rate is still a bit faster than I like, but his spirit is good. He is comfortable enough to sleep / roll on his back, put a smile on and look forward to everything we eat. We took him and Vienna to visit grandpa last week, he was back to his charming self and made the family smile :) </p>
<p></p>
<p>Mocha is no longer on Doxy and we've also stopped using sulcrate + to line his stomach. Right now he's on Omeprazole once daily and Prednisone every 12 hours. Due to the pred's side effect, Mocha drinks and pees a lot, so I have to take him out every two hours, it reminds me of his puppy years.</p>
<p></p>
<p>We will take Mocha in for another blood work soon. wish us luck :)</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>UPDATE 9 May 15th 12:54pm</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>We just got back from the vet, he is very pleased with Mocha's progress and gave him the okay to the dog park.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Mocha is losing weight still, currently at 23lbs, we'll need to step up the spoiling and fatten him up, stat!</p>
<p></p>
<p>There must have been 50+ dogs at the park today, all the dog walkers are out. Mocha had a great time, did several chest bumps and messed with the big dogs :) (<a href="http://www.mycorgi.com/forum/topics/mocha-s-bucket-list" target="_blank">video</a>)</p>

<p><strong>UPDATE 10 Jun 13th 9:52AM</strong></p>
<div><strong> </strong></div>
<div><strong><br/></strong> We had a great time camping a few weeks back, here' a <a href="http://www.mycorgi.com/forum/topics/mocha-s-bucket-list" target="_blank">video</a> for those who missed it.</div>
<div>Mocha is doing ok, appetite is good, his weight is stable, but still losing fat around his skull area, it feels very boney to the touch. He sleeps good, no obstruction in the airway, prednisone is doing its job.</div>
<div>I still walk him everyday for 1hr, however he looses coordination, stumbles at times , taking it slower on stairs, he cannot jump into our car on his own anymore.</div>
<div>Due to all the extra human food we give him, he's becoming more entitle and "daring", he snatched food off my hands several times, always giving me the smiles, hoping for more food.</div>
<div>2 weeks ago we invited the church youth group over for bbq, it was all good until they started feeding Mocha onion (destroy red blood cell), time after time we told them not to feed our dogs any human food, they ignored the warnings, sigh....so we had to induce vomiting on the spot / feed Mocha charcoal pills. Note to self: Some teenagers cannot be trusted. (boy i'm getting old)</div>
<div>I finally got around to get some Bacon, you can watch the <a href="http://www.mycorgi.com/forum/topics/mocha-s-bucket-list" target="_blank">video here</a>. I think Mocha likes the sausage more, or may be he's saving the best for last?</div>
<div>We're having a father's day pool party this Sunday, Mocha was never a fan of water, so it'll be another day of yummy food.</div>
<div><strong>LAST UPDATE: July 30th 8:46pm</strong></div>
<div><strong> </strong></div>
<div>I was cooking some chicken for Mocha this afternoon, Mocha came by and slept on my foot. I gave him a neck massage as usual, he took his last breath after several minutes. I held him in my arms for 2 hours, waited for my wife to come home. All the family members said their goodbyes.</div>
<div>It was peaceful, his eyes were open, with a smile on his face. I'm happy that his last moment was spent with me, it was all I ever prayed for.</div>
<div>I am lost for words right now, forgive me for taking some time off. Thank you for allowing me to share his stories with you.</div>
<div><p><strong>The update continues on another thread... Aug 1st 5:58pm</strong></p>
<p><b><br/></b>Thank you so much for all your messages, our phones were beeping non stop from notifications. Your words brought tears to our eyes and we are filled with love.</p>

<p>I took Vienna to the vet yesterday, the cytology result came back today, she also has stage 5 Lymphoma. So this thread will continues and I'm starting <a href="http://mycorgi.com/forum/topics/vienna-s-bucket-list" target="_self">another bucket list for Vienna</a> as well.</p>
