Recently learned a friend's cat has lymphoma. The prognosis is (from what I understand) that current technology is not sophisticated enough to fight this for real. More or less they give the poor thing maybe 6-8 months to live if she's lucky (second opinion was 4-6 months). This will all happen while most likely creating a relatively uncomfortable existence for the remainder of the cat's life with chemotherapy treatments. Currently they're on a CHOP protocol VARIATION, which is apparently similar in effectiveness to CHOP, but with (a) far less side-effects, and (b) far less expensive.
Any thoughts? Recommendations? Anecdata? Cutting edge research? Things she can try (based in science) from comfort of home?
