Canine Lymphoma (lymph cancer)

Toby was diagnosed with lymphoma yesterday.
Two weeks ago, she started drinking lots of water and peeing in the house.
I knew something must be very wrong and sent her to the vet.
They did blood and urine tests for my girl.
A week later, Toby was scheduled for another X-ray and biopsy check.
She had no appetite ever since the day of the X-ray test and lost 2 kg within 2 weeks.
After the results were out, our vet referred us to the cancer specialist.
The specialist clinic did more tests (ultrasound etc..) and concluded that Toby has lymphoma.
It was a shock and a tragedy to my family.

Toby started her first chemotherapy yesterday.
Hopefully miracle will happen on my dearest little girl and she will live a long and healthy life.
Toby is only 7 years old........

Comment by Joanna, Rainy and Calvin on November 5, 2009 at 3:09pm: Oh, poor Toby! Algy was diagnosed with low grade lymphoma this summer but has not really been treated for it, other than the steroids he takes for another condition. We have decided that if it starts to go full blown, we will make him comfortable and just let him live out what's left of his life (he's 11). Did they find tumors in the nodes? Was she swollen? Please keep us posted on Toby's prognosis and treatment! I am very interested to hear what you can do for her, and I would like it all to be good news!!! We are sending lots of love and corgi kisses your way.
