Burke, our 2 year old flat-coated retriever has been diagnosed with Stage V lymphoma. Our goals are to restore Burke's health and to extend our time with our precious boy. We also want to share our experiences with others and raise awareness about canine cancer. We did not chose this battle but we will fight this battle with love and determination! May all who visit find something of value.

Disappointing news
Burke's cancer is progressing. His left lump node is enlarged to 2.5 cm and now his right lymph node is also enlarged at 1.5 cm. We discussed converting him to hospice/supportive care versus trying one of the rescue protocols. We decided to try CCNU chemotherapy as this 2nd line protocol is only 1 drug and it does not commonly result in dogs feeling poorly.
