Answer:
I have never personally had a pet with cancer but know se veral who have and work with humans who do (and have endured chemo myself). The experience of most seems to be that dogs and cats even more so do much better with chemo than we humans do. But depending on what type of meds (No chemo is alike) your vet plans - ask him what his protocol will be - and what effects to expect - and talk to others who have had pets with cancer. There is a goos web site called Punkie Louise about a cat who had cancer and I will attempt to find it for you - I am writing this fast since I am taking a quick break!! - she has some good links I think.
