Have your veterinarian check on these protocols:
- University of Wisconsin (Madison)
- University of Tennessee
- Colorado State
My own veterinary oncologist treated in the order shown but has since switched to the Tennessee protocol first, followed by the Wisconsin protocol when the first remission fails. This seems to produce longer remission periods.
Dr. Ogilvy at Colorado State has a new protocol for long-term treatment. It's supposed to keep lymphoma patients alive for longer periods. It seems successful for patients like Jesse whose initial response to treatment was good.
Colorado recommends dietary changes also. A high protein, high fat diet increases remission times.
One warning: make sure you really want to do this before you start. It's expensive and time-consuming. However, lymphoma responds well to chemotherapy, and the mean survival time for dogs is now about 20 months.
