I'm with you Ed. In November of 2015 we found a lump on our dog's abdomen. Cancerous tumor, canine lymphoma, and if we did nothing, only a couple of weeks to live. Two surgeries and several months of chemo and he's still with us with no sign of recurrence. It is not curable, so we know a recurrence is coming. But, he's the active, loving dog he was before he got sick. It was worth every penny.
