No signs of any tumors in her lymphnodes.  Her kidhey was removed and while they think they got it all, they have started Chemo treatments. From what I read, Chemo is not generally used in kidney cancer, but the vet believes we should treat it agreesively.  The biopsy revealed a poorly differeniated fibrosarcoma or neave sheath cancer, so the treatment is guarded.  I can not find any information about kidney cancer in canines.  Does anyone have any experience with a canine fibrosarcoma or nerve sheath cancer in any internal organ? I would love to hear about your dog experience. Thanks Happi189 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT
