Stand with Dixie: Beat Lymphoma Together

I am coming to y'all with a heavy heart. Last Friday, 3/7, during a routine check-up, I found out she has lymphoma. Dixie is a fighter.

A little about my girl. Dixie is 4 years young, and if anybody has had the pleasure of meeting her, she is the sweetest girl in the world. If you know me, you know how much this girl means to me. It has only been me and her the past 4 years.

I am going to be vulnerable and tell little of our story in hopes we can help her. I am known as being a more reserved person, and that's not for any other reason other than that it is just who I am. Not many people know of my military experience, when I came home my whole world had changed. Then I found my Dixie. She has stood by my side over the past four years. She has been there for me through it all, so I want to be there for her now. 

Update:

Her first appointment costs: $2,156 ; Oncology Consultation - $243, Asparaginase Per Vial - $ 1186, Flow Cytometry - $473, Shipping and Handling - $93, Superchem,CBC,UAA - $401, Military discount - $-240

3/10 - Dixie was treated with L-asparaginase (Elspar). This is a chemotherapeutic agent. She also completed a Flow Cytometry test to find out what type of lymphoma.

Prognosis:

Without any treatment, the average survival for dogs with lymphoma is 4-6 weeks. Approximately 50% of dogs with lymphoma will respond to prednisone (a steroid) alone, but the remission times are only 2-4 months with prednisone alone. Most dogs with lymphoma respond very well to chemotherapy and go into a state of remission. Approximately 10% of dogs with lymphoma are cured, so a "cure" is possible. Approximately 92% of dogs with lymphoma will go into a state of remission after the first 1-2 treatments.

Dixie is a strong girl. If anybody can help, even the littlest amount helps. I will be her 90% right now, and we can be her 10%.
