The survival rate for prednisone + chlorambucil (leukeran) was much greater than that for prednisone + azathioprine, based on a small study. It is still a very scary disease.
Thanks for the link, Phil. Yes, it is scary....I was horrified when they gave me Cookie's biopsy results....BUT that was in Dec 2011 and she is still with me and thriving. I also know other pups who are doing well.

As mentioned above, I do believe diet is key in controlling them.
