The favorite part of my job is being able to guide owners through the difficult challenges and treatment decisions that occur after the diagnosis of cancer. The diagnosis of cancer can be scary and I enjoy providing owners with the tools to make good decisions.
One of the first cases I used ImpriMed's Personalized Prediction Profile was a pretty straight forward lymphoma case that went in to remission very quickly after induction therapy which is a very positive prognostic sign. The results of the PPP came back and indicated that the patient was at a high risk for early relapse. I was a little skeptical seeing as how the dog responded so favorably to initial chemotherapy, but within 6 weeks of chemotherapy, the patient's lymphoma became progressive in nature and I thought, ImpriMed is on to something here!
