I have usually dealt with at least 2 vets at a time-- a very close one for simple matters, and one farther away who is an internist or who I trust more for more serious things. Dianne, I am sure you must know this already, but lymphoma is usually not cured. At best it is held in remission for a while. Every once in a while it does seem to get cured-- cats five years out with no symptoms-- but this is less likely for a positive cat. I have heard of positives getting a year or two out of chemo, and I think there is one out there that is approaching 2 years and still has no symptoms, knock on wood, but that is rare. It is usually a best case scenario of months not years. Positives respond as well to chemo as negatives, but their remissions tend not to last as long. Hopefully Asia will be the exception.

but it is ok now, I won't be going back to him with her...and if I do it will be convenience. He is less than a mile from my house and I can usually get in immediately and get a discount as I do rescue work. So there are some benefits there but I know he is not the best vet around. Actually there are not many in this area I am happy dealing with. Last year was a horrible year for me and my babies. I lost 3 Shih Tzu's and a cat from April to October, it is a horror story and a long one. Each pet had a different illness and 2 were prolonged and 2 were sudden. (all part of why I was so devastated when I got the first diagnosis...just went numb) All for now and good night....and good night...smile Dianne and Asia
