What is the life expectancy for an 11 year old Miniature Pinscher (male) with Lymphoma in his left lung?
ByI am very sad and scared to say that my best friend of 11 years was just diagnosed with Lymphoma in his lungs. A mass was identified on a chest x-ray in his left lung as well a spot in a secondary lobe. He was exhibiting many symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, shaking, loss of appetite, lethargy, and stomach upset. I had a single dose of chemotherapy given by injection 5 days ago and he is remarkably better. Like a new dog!
Does this mean that I could continue these treatments for the next year and expect the same results and quality of life for him. The medication was alsparze.

the chemo will do him good. but as far as the length of time to live ! time will only tell and there is a suggestion ask your vet to remove the part of the lung if it isn’t all through him he might be saved that way as well. costly but worth it
