Subject: lymphomia diagnosis from vet

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to this list and don't get to read all the
posts but it seemed like a great list for health issues. My
sister in law's two year old ferret was taken to the vet
because she had a lump on her face. The vet said she not only
had one on her face but two more on her chest area on the
lymph nodes and diagnosed lymphoma (sp?). He said she had
about six months to live and they would do a biopsy and
possibly be able to give her some medicine. Where could I get
some advise on possible treatments? They adopted her from a
shelter after thier old ferret passed away and have only had
her for a year but are very attached and would like to do all
possible while still keeping a quality of life. Any help would
be great :)
