T Cell Lymphoma - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My Kiara was just diagnosed with T Cell Lymphoma, she is only 5 years old. The vet is giving her 1 month to live if we only do steroids (prednisone), possibly 6 months if we do Chemo or at the most 9 months if we do Chemo with Radiation. He did say 9 months was the max as her cancer has advanced to the skin and lymph nodes.

The full treatment is over 8 months.

My question is has any of you ever experienced this and if so what did you do?

I cannot offer advice, but am so sorry that your little girl is so ill. I will keep you both in my thoughts. (((hugs)))

I am so very sorry. You are in a very tough situation but we all know that every situation is different.

I had a foster once with lymphoma. I did everything I could including the radiation. Unfortunately Buster did not take well to that sadly). Hugs to you

I’m so sorry. My moms rescue had lymphoma and we used steroids to keep him comfortable until he wasn’t anymore. Personally I wouldn’t do chemo. They can’t understand what is going on. I followed a dog that got cancer and was being treated with chemo and his last couple of months were miserable. That’s of course just my opinion. I’m sorry you have to make this difficult decision.

We spoke with the Vet and we are trying Chemo. He felt very strong that we had to try. Pray for my little girl. Today was her first treatment

Prayers going up for you both.

Kiara had two Chemo treatments already. She is responding very well to it and her skill is clearing up.

I hope Kiara continues to do well with the treatments. I have seen some pups do pretty well...some not so much. I am so sorry you are having to deal with this at such a young age.
