Dear Friend,
Sorry to hear that Bam Bam has lymphoma and yes, the diagnosis of "cancer" in your beloved puppy puts shock waves into you. I think what Alyson says is probably the best advice....just give your puppy all the love you can and he will let you know when it is time to "turn the corner."
Benny had surgery for his Mast Cell Tumour but no chemo or radiation and with a complete change in diet and lots of supplements and lots of support and good advice he was in remission for 8 months and then the cancer returned. We chose to not have another surgery and no chemo.
We chose to just give him daily love and good food and continue the supplements, the daily walks and we had another 9 months with our darling little fur pal. It is a sad and terrible journey.
Do what your heart says is right. You know Bam Bam BEST.
My prayers go out to you and everyone here certainly understands how you are feeling....pretty numb! Wish I could be of more help to you.

Blessings,
Joanne
