My beloved 11 year old cat was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. He has been on a small amount of steroids every other day for years because of asthma and has done fantastically with it (although it may have masked the lymphoma symptoms for awhile). The vet drastically increased his steroid...

...losing weight), and based on the results of the ultrasound (thickened intestines?), the vet said the most likely culprits are either IBD or lymphoma, her guess is low-grade. she told me i should consider a biopsy, which would be able to say if its lymphoma or not. there are some things i am...

...back to normal, but getting better. The thing was, he lost about a pound since his previous visit and the vet started thinking that it was lymphoma and took him back and gave him a steroid shot. However, she never took any tissue samples. I brought him back two weeks after that appointment...

My 15 year old cat ( soon to be 16) was just diagnosed with small cell lymphoma of the intestines after taking X-rays , blood test , ultrasound of abdomen , CT of chest and then a biopsy performed after a colonoscopy. Thursday she was prescribed a steroid and I was told to f/ u with oncology...

...every few days. today they did an ultrasound and found thickening in her duodenum, and swollen lymph nodes. the vet said its either ibd or lymphoma. she's only 2. they did an FNA and a blood panel today so we'll get official next steps when the results come in. everything ive read says the...

The thickening of the intestinal mucosal layer is what they would see with intestinal lymphoma. Also some enlarged lymph nodes in the abdomen as well.

It's been a while since I've been here. My dear Chloe has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's-like lymphoma . I've never experienced this before since Chloe is my first pet. I'm also having a hard time finding information about it, it seems like it's not a common form of cancer. Has anyone had...

Oh I'm so very sorry. I've lost two beloved kitties to lymphoma, it's so sad. They are family members and it's so heartbreaking to lose them. My heart goes out to you. :hugs: Rest in peace, little Sonic. :rbheart:

Hi. Steroids shouldn’t complicate FIV. I have known cats with FIV and lymphoma that did well with chemotherapy. That said, if it is an adenocarcinoma, those are nasty tumors. Did the rest of the ultrasound show consistency with lymphoma such as thickened intestinal mucosa lining? Was the...

Hello everyone, my 11-yr old girl Haylie was just diagnosed with small cell lymphoma. We already had her on prednisone since her endoscopy last week, but I'm low-key freaking out at the cost of chlorambucil (Leukeran) @ $40/pill that needs to be given every other day. What has your experience...

He does not have any diagnosed allergy, but the nutritionist explained to me that small cell lymphoma is often a consequence of IBD and that there is no consensus on diet for small cell lymphoma...the safest approach is to treat like IBD.

Has anyone had experience/dealing with your cat having been diagnosed with probable IBD or lymphoma? My cat has been vomiting after he eats nearly every day and has been on pepsid and anti nausea meds for at least a couple of weeks now with no help most days. He is on a raw diet of rabbit and...

My heart goes out to you. We lost our kitty a couple of years ago to intestinal lymphoma. It's not a fun road to walk with your kitty. Praying for good news for you both.

I'm sorry to hear about Moki's aggressive lymphoma. I have had one cat with it, Skeet, and he lasted about three months, and eventually it impacted his kidneys and heart. 7 is way too young, it's so unfair. Thinking of you and your precious Moki. Darlene and angel Gigi

IBD doesn't have to become lymphoma. I've had an IBD cat that never got lymphoma, and I've had a lymphoma cat that never had IBD.

Generally speaking, a cytology won't come back as lymphoma if it is not that. Many fine needle aspirations tend to come back 'inconclusive' if there are not cancer cells actually found in the tissue. I would suggest you ask the vet for a more specific diagnosis (more than just 'lymphoma") and...

Hi. If the biopsy came back as large cell lymphoma, that is what it is. Still, lymphoma responds well to chemotherapy. What you are describing with the shifting weight is discomfort most likely. Don’t hesitate to use the Buprenorphine. Cancer hurts. One of the risks with chemotherapy is that...

...than I’d like - nothing too concerning though”. Afterwards he explained that cat GI troubles fall on a spectrum from things like IBD to lymphoma. Lymphoma! I was not expecting that word. The vet did say as his symptoms were mild, and he’s always been a bit of a sensitive tummy cat, he thinks...

My Moki, 7 yr old neutered male, had a 4 cm mass removed from intestine area. Biopsy has been diagnosed as Large cell Lymphoma. Vet suggests Prednolisone (steroid) treatment at home. There are other treatments, such as chemo and radiation, but unfortunately the prognosis for large cell...

...how to proceed. Our 16-year-old male cat, who has been in diabetes remission for over 7 years, was diagnosed this morning with intestinal lymphoma based only on his symptoms and the ultrasound. Because of his age, the biopsy was not scheduled, and the chemo is not an option. We (vets...
