I brought Gizzy to the vet. b/c his lymph nodes (under his arms) were swollen and it is suspected that he has lymphosarcoma. The only way that it was really detectable was through an x-ray that showed an enlarged lymph node in his chest and of course his lymph nodes under his arms and on his neck were swollen. From what I understood, the blood work did not indicate lymphosarcoma. I am going to be speaking with the vet. today about the blood work etc.., so will know a bit more later. He did mention, however, that they may need to take a sample from his lymph nodes to make sure that he does have lymphosarcoma if the blood work didn't show it. If the x-ray showed an enlarged lymph node in his chest and there are swollen lymph nodes on his body what else could he have? Why bother stressing him out any further by taking a sample from his lymph nodes when everything but the blood work indicates lymphosarcoma? I will chatt with the vet about this today, however, I need help from you guys in understanding lymphosarcoma and what to expect, possible treatments for lymphosarcoma, and anything else that will help us get through this. Gizmo is still a playful little guy and is eating fine etc.. I just hope that I can figure out the right things to do for him so that he is still comfortable and happy. The vet put him on Pred (.3cc) every 24 hours for 30 days and .3cc every 48 hours for 60 days. I will post the results from the blood work tomorrow.
