Help Chip beat lymphoma

Hi, my name is Amber and I'm raising money to help pay for Chips chemo treatment.

A few days before Halloween I noticed that his lymph nodes were swollen, he went to the vet on Halloween for tests and the following Friday I got the results that Chip has lymphoma.

He started treatment on 11/7 and has had 3 rounds of the CHOP protocol for feline lymphoma, he goes in tomorrow 11/29 for his 4th treatment and more tests.

In addition to the chemo, he has to have bloodwork every week to make sure he's healthy enough for his treatment that week and to see if it's working.

After his white blood cell count dropped every week, at his last visit on 11/21 it finally started to go up a little.

He is still very anemic, but his body is trying to make new red blood cells too.

At his next appointment Chip also needs to have an ultrasound of his heart to make sure he doesn't have heart disease, because the next chemo drug can damage his heart if he does.

He's never had any symptoms of heart disease, until the vet noticed a heart murmur at his appointment on 11/14.

They did a blood test and his levels came back really high, hopefully the ultrasound will come back good.

Please help me give Chip a chance at remission and hopefully add a few more years to his short life. He'll be 3 years in March and he isn't ready to leave yet.

If you watch him play and run around the house, you wouldn't even know he's sick.

He does sleep more because of the anemia, but he still lets me know if I'm taking too long to feed him and will race me up and down the stairs.

Chip is a fighter, he's already overcome so much and I have to give him a chance.

I started fostering Chip when he was 12 weeks old. I lost his sister to panleukopenia a week after they got here, Chip and his brother Dale only got mild symptoms. Then at 9 months old Chip was diagnosed with Dry neuro FIP, he was cured in May 2022 and I adopted him that August.

Earlier this year I found out that Chip was infected with Felv by a foster that had a false negative, which made him have a higher chance of getting lymphoma.

I knew because of the felv I probably wouldn't have Chip with me until he was 15 - 20 like most cats, but I never thought that I might lose him before he turned 3

I don't have kids, my animals are my babies and as long as Chip is eating and playing I have to fight for him.

Thank you for reading Chips story
