Hi all, I=92m wondering what you can tell me of this type cancer and have y=
ou had ferries with it? I think our sweet boy, Chunky, has it. The results =
of biopsy should be in next week but I think he does have it due to the enl=
arged spleen, lethargy and swollen/hard (like gravel) lympha nodes. I have =
read it=92s only 10% chance to put it in remission and even that is fairly =
short lived...so basically there is no chance for recovery. What I would li=
ke to know is how does it progress, is the ferrie in pain????, did you try =
chemo or palative therapy?, and how do you judge when it is time to let go?=
We had previously thought his enlarged spleen was just one of those mysteri=
es (needle aspirates, ultrasounds, blood and x-rays didn't show any reason =
for it to be enlarged). After much debate we we going to have his spleen re=
moved this week but now I'm guessing that isn't the best idea if he does ha=
ve lymphosarcoma? To risky I'd think and ultimatly wouldn't buy him any tim=
e?
Sigh. :-(

This kills me to even think about. I love my Chunky. =
