Hi everyone,
My cat was diagnosed with large-cell lymphoma (the more aggressive form) on Monday, 12/30/13. He has a large (a little smaller than a baseball) mass that has developed from his small intestine. He has lost some weight but is otherwise healthy and happy. His appetite seems pretty normal and his bloodwork is good. He will be 12 years old in February. I'm considering pursuing chemo and I'd love to hear opinions/experiences with this type of cancer. I'd like to give him the best chance possible as long as he is happy. The way I see it is if chemo is only going to give him another few months, it's not worth the stress of going to the vet every week and getting shots. If he's going to live another year or more, I will gladly arrange for his chemo.
Thanks!
