Dog diagnosed with cancer please help?

My 4 year old lab german Sheppard mix was diagnosed with lymphoma as I was leaving for vacation. The vet called and said she has only a few weeks to live. I wont be back for a week and I really miss her. I dont want her to die. I dont know what to do about her cancer. Shes acting fine and the person watching my dog for the week sends pictures. Ive been reading alot and apparently the cancer goes into remission but only for a year. I dont want her to be in pain but I dont want her to leave me. I got her when I was 11 and Ive only had her for 4 years. My parents let me get a dog and shes been with me since. Shes like my kid and I love her so much. Please help I dont know what to do. How can I deal with this and make sure she has the best time? And is there any way to make it go away forever?

    Yes, give puppy vitamins and CBD oil to cure aggressive cancer. Many beings with seemingly terminal illnesses have recovered completely after cannibinoid therapies. You must begin the treatment as soon as possible to increase chances of survival.

    Understand that CBD binds to and stimulates canine immune system to identify and eradicate cancerous lymph cells. Vitamins will boost count of healthy noncancerous lymph cell.

    So your dog was diagnosed with cancer and yet you just LEFT.

    If you gave a damn about this dog you would have CANCELLED your vacation and found out what treatment options were available.

    You're a selfish, shallow person. When you get home take this poor unloved dog to a no-kill shelter and surrender it.

    Ah, that is really sad! Did the vet give you the name of a veterinary oncologist to review her case with? There are multiple kinds of lymphoma - some respond to chemotherapy, others are more aggressive and it's just a matter of time. See if your parents will let you speak to the vet (with them as they may not be able to speak to you since you are a minor). Make a list of your questions, and ask them. When we get bad and shocking news our mind goes numb and we don't think of all the things we wanted to ask until later. Make that list and speak to the vet. I am so sorry to hear this. Cancer is a deadly disease, and we don't think about it happening especially in such a young dog.

    All I can say is that I am so sorry and especially given your dogs young age. Please read Verulams post and I sincerely hope you get some time with her and she stays well for a long while.

    We had one with that diagnosis after I found a lump where his front lymph glands were. I wasn't given any timing and given his age then, we opted for no treatment. He lived a further 6 months with no medication and in 'perfect health' before his system crashed and we had to let him go. During that time, I started to doubt the diagnosis, he was doing so well.

    You just have to go with how she is (being told she only had weeks would have had me cancelling my vacation!), knowing that you won't have her for much longer. Very sad, but life can be cruel. At least we don't have to allow lingering with our pets.

    If there was anything to be given with this, your vet would have told you - offered it. They hate to be beaten and are usually as upset to lose a patient, as we are to lose a pet.
