I just found out yesterday that my little guy has lymphoma. He is only five years old and way too young to die. I am finding this so hard to cope with. He has been my companion for five years and I will miss him so much! Please say a little prayer for him.
Reading everyones messages has been therapeutic in the sense that I know I am not the only person who has had to face this hardship of losing a beloved animal to cancer.

Emmy is a 10-year-old sweet girl. At this time her oncologist gave her around a 6-months-to-live prognosis. She doesn't seem ready to go...we are finding it extremely difficult to "prepare" (me the mommy, my husband,my daughter) and we have 2 other family members a siberian husky and siamese cat who seem to "know" something isn't quite right. She is especially bonded to my husband who cannot hold back the tears...please pray for Emmy, for a peaceful transition even though we were told it will get worse. I pray that she will find loving otherworldly companions to be with, while she waits on the other side for us to reunitie with her someday. We love you so much Emmy!!

Baylie is the sweetest and cutest Beagle and an absolute gift from God to all that have had a chance to know her.
She was recently diagnosed with cancer and the tumor has grown rapidly in a short amount of time. Sadly, due to her age and stage of the cancer, Baylie will be put to sleep :( and will probably not make it for her 11th birthday.
Please pray that she would feel amazing luv tenfold from those whose lives she has touched and that she will be at peace with caring arms wrappped around her little body until it is time for us to let her go.
We luv you Baylie!!!

My Hunter was diagnosed with advanced cancer in his lungs & spleen. When I asked the vet how many months did he have left, my vet replied "not even months". Not what I wanted to hear considering Hunter is only 8 years old (from a bloodline that normally lives to 15).
I am heartbroken . . .

Jakko and Chella are our 2 dachshund, 12 and 10 year old, which we love as our children and have cared for as so.
Tonight Chella my 10 year old was diagnose with lung cancer after spending the weekend without eating and slow for her normal energetic self. Today she has not been breathing right and has not left my side for an instance. I feel her speak to me through her eyes and I know she doesn't understand what is going on. Please pray for her and for the wisdom of her vet. Dr. Pichardo, to help us have Chella a few more years with us. I have the strenght to love her and care for her but not to let go, I keep myself positive and will try to keep those around her the same way.

Jumper was diagnosed with lymphoma in late February with most of her lymph nodes already engaged. We had 3 different chemo protocols with no remission. Last week we decided to stop chemo as she is almost 12 and began to have seizures. We are now enjoying our last weeks with this most wonderful companion. For the past 2 days she is having difficulty walking. We carry her outside to be with us in the sun and upstairs at night to sleep beside our bed. Jumper has had a happy and very active life and has always had the behavior and soul of a puppy. Please keep her and us in your prayers!

My family found out 2 weeks ago that our dog, Buffy, has lymphoma that has affected her spleen, stomach, and lymph system. She's 14 3/4 and has lived a very, very good dog life. We've given her the best of everything so there are no regrets. Due to her age, we opted to just see her through with paliative care, keep her comfortable and give her anything she wants food-wise. The past 2 days she seems to be going downhill - not eating her food or even her treats and she sleeps most of the time. We are just so broken-hearted over this. It is such a gutwrenching time. I hope that you will pray along with me that Buffy lives her last days comfortably, and that she will let us know when it's time. It's like losing a child or sibling. My grief is overwhelming. Has anyone joined a pet loss grief site? I would be interested in being involved. It will take a long time for us to mourn this.
