Emilie:

The veterinarian in Knoxville told me that she had never heard of lymphoma in corgis so hopefully that will ease your mind. Also, I can only speak for my experience with Digger but giving him chemotherapy would have only given him maybe 4 months. My vet said that she was not sure how he would react to the chemo or what his odds were. Some dogs do get very sick just like people. I think Michael needs to research this a little more before he makes his statements because this is a very sensitive topic for anyone who has lost their beloved pet to cancer.
