We had a talk with a human cancer expert named Miss Lisa Slama, and talked about what types of cancer humans get. When we talked with the vet, she told us that dogs get lymphoma, and Miss Lisa said that humans get lymphoma too. Miss Lisa said that the risks of getting cancer at those ages are different in each category of senior citizens, young people, and middle-aged citizens. Senior citizens can get cancer from old age, too, and sometimes they get it when they're younger, but it was just never cured. If you haven't read my first post about our trip to the vet, then read it please, and then read this, and then read my final post in this series about what dogs with cancer and humans with cancer have in common.
