Zena Rotti

My 8 year old rott Zena has had lymphoma since the end of Jan 2009.She is on her 7th chemo treatment and is doing quite well.Her lymph nodes are in normal range now and hasn't had any side effects from the chemo.She is on a high protein/low carb diet due to many hours of research that showed carbs(corn,wheat,rice,potatoes,etc.)causes the cancer to increase.Also read that a good fish oil supplement slows the lymphoma(which she is on also).Hoping for a long remission!

Hi,

Thanks for visiting this forum, you'll find lots of valuable information and support from fellow dog lovers who have/are going through what you are experiencing.

Great news on the chemo working with no side effects. Keep studying the supplements thing. Have you discovered K9-Immunity yet? If not go to Dog Cancer, Healthy Dog Food and Pet Health - DogCancerInfo.com and check it out.

We are all hoping and praying for a long remission too!

God Bless,

Raymond,
Thanks for the prayers and hope!I have looked at K-9 immunity,but the oncologist says not to use antioxidants until chemo treatments are done because it may limit the effects of the chemo.I will use them in a few months.

Hi, I am so happy to hear that your Rotti Zena is doing well on the chemo treatments. Like Raymond, I certainly hope she stays in remission FOREVER.

Breaks my heart to read of another precious rottie with lymphoma. I'm so sorry to hear that. Glad to hear she is doing well with the chemo.

Thanks for the support Trish.Sorry to hear Maximus isn't doing well.I saw pics of him and he is one handsome rott!Don't feel like you're giving up or that feeling of helplessness.You have done and are doing so much for him.You are giving him the best medical care and love possible!Look how many more weeks you have given him which gave you time to treasure each day with him.That 3 week drug they gave him is a really strong drug,so it may still work.I hope he bounces back!


Love and Prayers,


Dean and Zena
