Overcoming Lymphoma in dogs with CHOP Chemotherapy protocol - Episode 31

Coco, a 13-year-old Cocker Spaniel, came to us with respiratory issues and lethargy. Diagnosed with multicentric large cell lymphoma, Coco embarked on a 19-week CHOP chemotherapy protocol. Currently in his 16th week, he's shown excellent progress and is in complete remission. The goal now is to finish the treatment and maintain his health with monthly check-ups.

My 14 year old King Charles cavalier had emergency splenectomy on 9/18/23 and was diagnosed with lymphoma type B. She was given 1 month at best without CHOPS protocol and 6 months with it. We ordered the first medication but after her labs it was determined she was too ill to start. I was doing research and came across an alternative treatment using panacur. My vet was willing to try only because she wouldn’t survive the CHOPS protocol. She will be 6 months post surgery on 3/18/24, walks/runs 1.2 miles every day and surpassed all expectations. She does 3 days on and 4 days off. In addition to the panacur she gets I’m Yunity (study done at UPenn on dogs) 2 x day, Curcumin, turkey tail mushroom, probiotic, NAC 2 x day, 1 drop CBD oil 2 x day and 200 mg of CoQ10 1 x day. She is fed wild caught salmon, chicken/beef & broccoli NO dog kibble. My vet is astounded at her recovery and she has never had to suffer any devastating effects of CHOPS or spending days at the vet’s office for treatment. I hope every veterinary clinic will consider using the same alternative treatment.

Our story from Australia. We adopted our Golden retriever, Millie, aged seven and a half on the second of February 2024 from a wonderful adoption agency. We almost immediately located a small lump on her back. We took her to the vet on 14th March, by which time the lump had grown significantly and was looking very nasty, together with another twenty or so smaller lesions on her back and neck which were growing and fast. The vet told us that it could be Lymphoma and we all agreed that if it was the worst case, we would not consider chemotherapy as it is too harsh on any dog. Most dogs don’t last more than two to four months after diagnosis. Some much less. He operated on the following Thursday (March 21) and removed approximately half of the lesions including the largest ones. The adoption agency paid for everything. On the previous Monday (18th) we had commenced her on a course of Ivermectin which we got from our local farm produce store. This was our decision without consulting the vet. Thursday 28th March, Lymphoma was confirmed. 2nd April, sutures removed. Most of the remaining lesions had fallen off, leaving just 2. Millie had healed from the operation in an incredible manner even though she looked like a patchwork doll. Our vet was amazed. Follow up by the vet was on 15th April by which time the remaining lesions had fallen off. The vet just kept looking at her, shaking his head and saying he had never seen this before and that none of the dogs that he had treated for Lymphoma in the past had survived let alone thrive. Today is the 10th May and Millie is going from strength to strength. The main issue that we have now, is that we have to suffer from her selective deafness! Doubtful that Ivermectin can fix this. Her energy levels and strength have tripled. It makes us believe that she must have been pretty ill when we got her although nobody could have known. The agency only had her for three days. Everyone who knows her and her story (a lot of people, she makes friends everywhere she goes) are delighted and amazed. What we don't know is how long she should be on Ivermectin, when does she go on a maintenance dose and what the dose should be. What we used was a horse wormer in pellet form. The packet said 35 g net which contains 140 mg of Ivermectin and was suitable to treat a 700 kg horse. Millie weighed 46 kg (very overweight, she is now down to 37 KG), so we gave her 2-3 grams approximately per day (maybe 10 ml). Millie is also on a no carb diet and will remain on it, however, we have to ensure that she does not lose too much weight. Any advice would be appreciated. We are hoping that Millie’s story may help other dogs and people. The adoption agency has very recently taken in a one-year-old Golden Retriever with Lymphoma. He has been operated on and is now on Ivermectin. The same dose as Millie. We will be watching closely. Questions and comments are most welcome.
