Living with Canine Lymphoma 
 
Jack was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma on October 11, 2009, and thanks to a team of very talented Vets he is currently in remission.


Jack and his caregivers Linda and John hope to use this Web site to tell Jack's story - and provide some comfort to other dogs and their caregivers as they fight cancer.  Our first reaction was "Oh my!  Jack is dying of lymphoma."  But once we assembled our team of specialists (Oncologist, Cardiologist, DVM, etc.) and a treatment plan was developed, our perspective has changed to "Oh my!  Jack is living with lymphoma."  Our goal is to make sure that he has the highest possible quality of life, the best treatment protocols available, and that he is happy and comfortable living with us for as long as he's meant to be here.

There are a lot of really great references out there if you want to learn more about canine lymphoma

We have added a Resources page with links to resources that have been helpful to us.  Please take a look and let us know what you think.
 
We're also gathering links to some of the products, services, and destinations that Jack really enjoys - in case it gives you some ideas for new ways to have fun with your canine companion.  These will show up shortly on Jack's Favorite Things page.

You can follow along with Jack as he travels his greatest journey.  We will endeavor to post to Jack's Blog as often as we can to let everyone know how he's doing, where he is in his treatment protocol, and just general dog stuff to which any dog caregiver can relate.
