    There is no cure for lymphoma. We are opting to not do chemo due to the stress and just try to make him as comfortable as possible. Are we wrong?

    That is hard to answer. I find treating lymphoma very rewarding because most dogs respond and tolerate their chemotherapy very well. Our goal is a normal quality of life for dogs on chemotherapy. Some dogs don’t respond. Some dogs hate having to see a veterinarian. Treatment must be a whole family and situation decision.
