  2. Mal's Results Back

    in Animal Chat

    Posted

    I don't know whether you've discussed the coughing with your specialist yet Billy but if not I would do so as soon as possible. It may be nothing but what I was gently trying to say to you in your other thread is that it could also be a bad sign in terms of the cancer spreading. I hope the cough is caused by something else but if not you may well need the specialists advice on it. Best of luck :GroupHug:

     

    So sorry to hear about Mal and my thoughts are with you at this time.

     

    Five years ago I went through a similar time with my beardie Sam, he had lymphoma. He had a biopsy and I was advised by vet to have his lymph node removed, he had the op but it had spead too far. I can't help but agree with Ian, I would ask the specialist if he has ex rayed his chest (which he probably has done) to check that it is confined to the lymph node alone and has not spread to his lungs.

     

    I know what you are going through and feel for you and Mal but remember Mal doesn't know he is ill and his happy life goes on as normal while he feels well.

     

    Feel free to PM me if you feel I could help.

     

    :GroupHug: to you

    So sorry to hear about your worries for lovely Tasha.

     

    I know how you feel, I can still remember that awful feeling when you realise that there is another lump appeared. I had a beardie with lymphoma, a while ago, some 4 years but I can still remember the desperation I felt as if it was yesterday.

     

    As others have said, she doesn't know she is ill so try to enjoy your time together and perhaps you would feel better if you had more information from the vet.

     

    Thinking of you

  5. Bruno Has Cancer (lymphosarcoma)

    in Animal Chat

    First of all so sorry to hear about Bruno and :GroupHug: to you.

     

    I lost my boy Sam to lymphoma about 4 years ago. His wasn't discovered until it was in the later stages. His neck lymph nodes swelled up but he already had it elsewhere. Chemo wasn't an option so he was put on prednesilone sp?.

     

    So sorry to hear Bruno is so young but having found it early isn't there a possibility that chemo would help?

     

    I wish you all the best and I'm thinking of you. I can still remember how devastated I felt when Sam was diagnosed, he was 9 at the time and a beardie whos life expectancy was possibily 13 or 14 so to have a 4 year old with it is so sad.

    So sorry to hear about Bumpy :GroupHug:

     

    I lost my beardie Sam to lymphoma 4 years ago, he was 9 years old. He had a biopsy op then a big op to remove the lymph node. In hindsight I wished I had just gone for the steriod treatment which usually gives them a good quality of life, albeit often 3 to 6 months, instead I took my vets advice.

     

    If it's in the early stages then I think chemo can give 6 to 9 months remission. But you really need to have scans done as it could have already spread to the chest.

     

    I wish I had known what I know now about lymphoma when Sam was diagnosed.

     

    Sorry I can't be more positive but I think you are looking for honesty!

     

    :GroupHug: to you.

  13. Mal's Test Results

    Posted

    So sorry it wasn't better news. :GroupHug:

     

    I'd like to echo Celeste's statement. 'He doesn't know there is anything wrong with him'. Life is the same as ever for him, although for you it is not.

     

    This is something I tried to keep in mind when my boy Sam had lymphoma. I know how hard it is for you but you'll be strong for him.

  15. Sickness With Chemotherapy

    in Health

    Posted

    I can't offer any advice I'm afraid but send you lots of hugs and support :GroupHug: , my dog had lymphoma but a very aggressive type so I chose not to go with chemotherapy,

     

    My Sam also had lymphoma but didn't have chemo as he also had the aggressive type

     

    I hope Sasha is feeling better

  21. A Little Tribute To Jaffa My Soul Dog

    in Animal Chat

    Posted

    A lovely tribute to dear Jaffa. I remember you loosing Jaffa as I too lost my soulmate Sam to cancer and know how hard it is to come to terms with loosing them in their middle years of life. My Sam was 9 when he went to rainbow bridge and that will be 4 years ago this August. I still miss him so much to this day, but it does get easier and a bit less painful as time passes. I thought I'd never be able to say that as the first year was awful, I cried so much and missed him so much.

     

    Thinking of you :GroupHug: :GroupHug:

  25. Failed Fosterer

    in Animal Chat

    Hi Libby

    Don't feel down, sometimes it doesn't work out. My first foster an OES that was really weak and thin when he arrived, turned out to be food aggressive due to him being on the run before he was caught (I assume) and also wouldn't be left at night and I ended up sleeping downstairs with him as he wasn't housetrained. I had to throw the towel in after about 10 days. I felt I'd failed at fostering too but at least by the time he left me to go to a more experienced foster home he had gained his strength and put weight on. I did go on to foster 4 others and I think the first experience gave me a better in sight into what was involved with fostering.
