We were told later that pets are usually not given the same dosage of chemo that a human might get. The symptoms such as hair loss and dealing with nausea and other side effects generally are so hard on the owners that the dosages are limited. One would expect that would reduce the changes of survival, as well. You might want to discuss this with your vet. Things might have changed since then, too.
I have a friend diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma several years ago and he is now in complete remission, so don't give up hope.
My dog had lymphoma, and I read a lot about it and saw Golden Retrievers have a high instance of it. It’s a shame because they are great dogs.
That’s true about the chemo. They don’t get the full dose they give people that would cure the cancer. They give just enough to send it into remission, but it doesn’t usually kill all the cancer cells. That’s why it comes back.
