My dog, Bo, is around 11 years old (adopted, 3.5 years ago), a st. bernard/husky mix, about 100 lb.
He was recently diagnosed w/ lymphoma, probably stage 3. Comprehensive chemotherapy really isn't much of an option for us. So, prednisone alone was an option, and prednisone along w/ another med (a type of chemo) was an option as well, but obviously considerably more expensive, and I am moving in a couple of weeks, so somewhat unmanageable (that's not to say that I won't do it...just considering options).
Bo isn't showing any signs or symptoms, aside from the swollen lymph nodes.
I'm basically looking for any and all suggestions short of chemo that maybe the vet left out.
I'm also looking for any stories, good or bad, that people have that will help me be aware and help increase his time and improve the quality of his last days, whether it's a month or 2 years.
That is all, thanks for the replies.
