What it is
A common cancer of the immune system (lymphocytes) that often shows up as swollen lymph nodes. It's usually treated rather than removed with surgery.
How it's treated
Chemotherapy is the main treatment and dogs generally tolerate it well, with far fewer side effects than people. A multi-drug protocol over several months is common.
Outlook
Lymphoma often responds well to chemotherapy, and many dogs enjoy months to a couple of years of good quality time. Your oncologist can give a clearer picture based on the type.
