Julie, I'm so sorry about the diagnosis. You will know the right thing to do regarding treatment. Sometimes I go through expensive treatments and sometimes I don't. It's really based on the cat. Sometimes I feel like they want to fight and are not bothered by the treatments, and other times
Sending prayers for your dear Samantha, Julia.

They may have given her 3-4 months because of it
already being in the lymph nodes.

Julia,
I am so sorry to hear about Samantha's
diagnosis/prognosis. It must be so hard for you right
now. I had no idea chemo was that expensive! Marylyn
here always suggests that you talk to your furbaby and
ask what she wants to do. It seems that animals can
let us know if we take the time to
I had a kitty named "City Kitty" that had the same type lymphoma...I put her on the chemo, and she lived another 9 months..She responded very good until the blood counts started gettting low, we had to stop the chemo, but she had 5 motnhs of adriamycin IV monthly and was on 20 mg of pred the rest o
Julia,
My prayers are with you & Samantha.

Julia, I'm sad to hear it's such grim news for Samantha. Ultimately, what you
decide
WILL be what is best for you, and what YOU feel is the right thing to do.
Follow your
gut instinct, if you think that her quality of life on the chemo will not be
good,
and that you may have better QUALITY time
No, I actually agree with that. It does depend on the cat. If Samantha is terrified of car rides and vets, I might not do chemo, because you need weekly appointments. It all depends. If she is relatively ok with it, I would.

I am not sure why they gave her 3-4 months. That might be the case, but mediastinal lymphoma sometimes responds very well to chemo, and some cats have gone years in remission from chemo. Cats with FeLV respond as well to chemo, but they do tend to come out of remission faster if they go into it.

Just an FYI, most vets give a very dire prognosis when it comes to
cancer, I can't remember but did you say Samantha went to cancer
specialists at a University?? And what stage is she?

Julia,
I have not heard of radiation being a usual part of treatment for
that type of cancer, which by the way usually has a very good response
to treatment. I belong to a group of cancer kitties and there are
several that have this specific type of cancer and are doing well, here

Julia,
Your post sounds like mostly bad news and bad news to me. I'm so sorry
that Samantha's troubles did turn out to be lymphoma. The truly good
news is that she has a human like you that loves her and wants the best
for her. I take it since you mention "your regular vet", the vet you

Julie I am so sorry about what you have to go through with your sweet Samantha.I spent well over 5,000 on my Maizee for her chemo treatments over a 6 monthe period.And she was healthy pretty much the whole time.I helped her until that terrible disease took her.It was to me worth the 6 extra months
Hi, all :(
Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that Samantha
doesn't have FIV or FIP, just FelV. The bad news is that the tumor in
her chest is definitely Mediastinal lymphoma, and it's in her lymph
nodes, unfortunately. :( I can give her chemo and radiation and
