We lost our 5.5 year old Golden girl in January of this year. She got mast cell cancer at age 1.5 and did surgery, chemo and lots of pills to "beat" that. Last year, we felt a lump on her neck and it was Lymphoma. Lymphoma, you can't beat but we decided to do the "Madison protocol" of chemo to keep her going. In the midst of that, she got another mast cell tumor in a different spot and we had to take her off chemo to have surgery on that. She got back on chemo until we could no longer keep the lymphoma in remission. Through the whole ordeal, she was a happy dog (until her last week). We would do it again, even though the Lymphoma and 2nd mast cell bill was $20K. Poor little girl took 66 trips to the vet in her short life.
She was our second Golden. We love the breed, but after researching how common cancer is in Goldens, we now own a goofy Aussie. PM me if you want to talk. Sorry for your bad news.
