Interrupting Chemo for Lymphoma
Pet Cancer Vet (08-24-2015) #2046: Adrienne from East Hampton calls about her 10-year old Great Dane mix, Bruce, who woke up with a droopy eye and was found to have lymphoma. His chemo treatment had to be interrupted by his previously undiagnosed mega-esophagus, which caused pneumonia. Adrienne asks Sue the pros and cons of interrupting chemo for lymphoma, which is a fast-growing cancer, and whether it’s okay to modify the protocol if a dog gets sick from a different illness.
