Â
What is Lymphoma ?
Lymphoma is type of blood Cancer that occurs when lymphocytes white blood cells that help to protect the body from infection and disease begin behaving abnormally. Abnormal may divide faster than cells or they may live longer than they are supposed to.Lymphoma may develop in many parts of the body, including the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, blood or other organ.
Â
Types of Lymphoma
There are two main types of Lymphoma. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, or Hodgkin’s disease, all other types of Lymphoma are called non-Hodgkin’s Lymphomas.
Hodgkin’s disease and non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma are both Cancers that start in lymphoid tissue (also called lymphatic tissue). The lymphatic system is important for filtering germs and Cancer cells as well as fluid from the extremities and internal organs. Other types of Cancer, lung or colon Cancers, for example, can develop in other organs and then spread to lymphoid tissue. But these Cancers that can spread to lymph nodes are not Lymphomas. Lymphomas start in the lymphoid tissue and can spread to other organs.
This lymphoid tissue is found in many places throughout the body, including lymph nodes, the thymus (found behind the chest bone and in front of the heart), the spleen (on the left side of the abdomen next to the stomach), the tonsils and adenoids, in the bone marrow, and scattered within other systems such as the digestive and respiratory systems.
Â
What Causes Lymphoma ?
Lymphoma is a form of Cancer that can affect the various sections of the lymphatic system however it is commonly the lymphocyte cells and the lymph glands that are the primary sites of Cancerous growth
The cause of most Lymphomas is not known. Most are probably caused by mutations in certain genes, called oncogenes, which then allow normal cells to divide out of control.
Â
Diagnosis Of Lymphomas
To identify which areas of the body are affected by Lymphoma, the following tests are also commonly used : -
Blood tests, including complete blood count (CBC). Blood chemistry, including tests of liver and kidney function. Bone marrow biopsy or aspiration. Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to check for Cancer spread to the central nervous system %26#40;brain and spinal cord%26#41;. Ultrasound. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest and abdomen or sometimes X-rays. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Bone scan or gallium scan (when a radioactive material is injected into the bloodstream to look for evidence of inflammation or bone tumors). Gallium scan to look for tumor or inflammatory cells. Positron emission tomography (PET) scan to look for abnormal cells
Â
What are the common symptoms of Lymphoma?
There are a number of common signs and symptoms that are associated with Lymphoma however it must be pointed out that these symptoms can also be caused by numerous, less severe conditions and so anyone suffering with any of the following symptoms should not self-diagnose Lymphoma.

Treatment for Lymphoma?
My 12 y.o. cattle dog mix was diagnosed with lymphoma Dec 09. Has anyone had any successful naturopathic methods of treatment? Presently she is on a small daily dose of prednisone. I have read that grains increase the production of cancer cells. Therefore, I am making 75% of her food. (Supplementing with meats and green and orange vegetables. Also, daily cod liver oil supplements.
Am interested in finding out what people have tried, what worked and what didn’t.
Thank you very much.
If you used chemo treatment, what side effects were there and how did it effect the quality of life?
Answer
Ive had dogs with cancer they generally don’t live much longer with or without treatment your going to end up back at the vet soon anyway and the amount of time if any that this extends the life of your dog it looks miserable. You have to make a judgment call whether or not its worth the huge vet bills to make any such attempt. People and animals die that’s just how it is. From experience Ive only seen cancer treatments at vets lead to a dead animal and a huge loss of money we didn’t have.
Ask your vet though does he seem optimistic? I haven’t seen a dog come back from cancer but who knows.
