Cancer fighter Tia. We've known Tia since 2018 when she was first diagnosed with chronic lymphocytes leukaemia (CLL). This form of cancer is generally a slow progressong disease which affects a type of white blood cell known as lymphocytes. Tia remains on a tablet based treatment at home and comes in for routine cancer checks every 3 months now. Well done Tia 🥰

This is the handsome Sonchai 😍 Sonchai was diagnosed with transmural T cell lymphoma. This means his lymphoma extends through all the layers of his intestinal wall. Sonchai presented with diarrhoea and has since commenced tablet based chemotherapy. His toileting has since normalised and he has a great appetite and fantastic quality of life. Well done Sonchai, you are a superstar! 💕

Meet Boots 👢 Boots is an almost 13 year old DSH. Boots was diagnosed with lymphoma, looking to be localised to his liver. Boots is currently on a tablet based chemotherapy protocol given every couple of weeks. His most recent blood test noted his liver enzymes to have improved (one enzyme by almost 50%!) In just under 8 weeks, well done Boots!!!

Super sassy sisters, Nahla and Dotti were recently seen for their cancers. Both have lymphoma but different types. Dotti (right) is on surveillance now and her little Nahla sister is finishing up her CHOP protocol.
They always give us smiles as they come snuffling through the waiting room!

Congratulations to Bronson for courageously completing his CHOP based protocol. Bronson had a cytological diagnosis of lymphoma in December 2024. He finished his protocol last week and we wish him a long and happy remission. Well done Bronson 👏
