Other Diseases/Conditions:
None
Story: Jake was diagnosed with renal lymphomo at the age of 3 1/2. He was initially given IV fluids and prednisone since we did not have a diagnosis. He was slipping away with kidney failure. My vet, Dr. Frezzo, in Bayonne NJ started chemo and we had results quickly. We then consulted with Dr. Fred at Red Bank Vet Hospital and he set the protocol for Jake. My vet admninisters the treatments. Jake is doing amazingly well and in remission.
Outcome: Updated December 2007  - We are celebrating Jake's remission of one year. He is now a husky 14 lbs. He continues to get chemo every 3 weeks. He recently had a cold and was treated with L-lysine. He is a loving perky guy. We plan to continue the treatments another year as prescribed. He also continues to take a tablet of Prednilisone and a tablet pepcid AC. He gets hydration every other day also.
Outcome: Updated March 2007 - I wanted to update the case study of Jake who had been diagnosed with renal lymphoma. He is now almost 7 months since his diagnosis and doing extremely well. He is now on his chemo treatments every 3 weeks and enjoying life pain free. He still gets his prednisone and Pepcid AC daily. Every day having my wonderful boy is a gift. I hope this gives hope to those caregivers who question whether chemo treatment is an option.
Outcome: Jake has had chemo and in remission. We are now 3 1/2 months since diagnosis. He is doing so well.
