With the nodes being affected being external, I would definitely at least
remove them and then consider chemotherapy. My little one that had a similar
issue at about the same age did very well with chemo (ferrets, rabbits and rodents
protocol) and I extended her quality of life for more than 2 years past the
initial diagnosis...I can give you my vets information [Contact Lisa directly for this
information -- Mod.] if you think your vet might be interested in pursuing this...
