Very, very bad news about Austin

[ForeverMama]

I started my workday with tears of sorrow for you and Austin. Thanks to your last post, I am ending my workday with the good kind of tears. Tears because there is hope for your precious boy. Sure sounds like a wonderful oncologist you're working with. My prayers will be with both of you through all the treatments.

Sounds like Austin will have everyone in his corner,fighting for him.That's great news from the oncologist,and the fact that it's localised,without having spread,is even better.
I can't imagine how relieved you must be feeling,gentle kisses from Waldo to Austin from another Aussie down under
We'll keep you both in our thoughts and prayers

I am glad you got some positive news! I am so happy for you both!

Accutane is an acne med. How great that they can use it in this way! Do you have to wait the two weeks to start the treatment? Or can your regular vet at least start him on the steroids?

So very happy that you got some positive news! I was thinking about you and Austin all night. Its really weird how most of us never meet but can feel so strongly and so concerned about each other. Just goes to show that boxers have an amazing talent for bringing people together. Good luck to you both. Everyone is routing for you!!

Oh, I'm so happy to hear all that transpired this morning!! It must be a huge relief to not only know more specifics on the cancer, but that there is a treatment for Austin that is acceptable to you. It all sounds very encouraging, and I'm really glad that you are feeling more positive, Austin will definitely benefit from his mom keeping on the high road. The most important thing is you are travelling it together, you will help each other. It must mean so much to you to be able to do something for Austin at this point - this can be so uplifting as well.

I've been thinking a lot about you and Austin since yesterday, and hope that you know how very much we all care about the both of you. I'm sending more healing and positive vibes out for your Sweet Boy. Treasure each precious moment. lovicon And take care of yourself too.

I'm very please to hear that Austin's prognosis is much better than feared

Below are some links that might be useful to you - these discuss dietary needs of cancer sufferers (as Jan mentioned earlier, carbs feed cancer cells, but the dog doesn't need them - so removing carbs from the diet can help to starve the lymphoma). There are also some good links to lymphoma research and treatment protocols:
