I actually have had two that lived years with lymphoma. Princess lived 3 years after diagnosis and JoeBob lived 4. He was almost 8 when he died, so it may have been old age as well. It may have helped that I'm a critical care nurse and tend to examine the kids for enlarged lymph nodes, etc. weekly when I'm playing with them (although ferret lymph nodes are extremely difficult to feel). The others I've had with lymphoma have lasted from a week after onset of symptoms to about a year.

If you've had ferrets live 2+ years with the disease

that. Nyssa is at 17 months and none of the vets who
have treated her expected her to live nearly this
long. BTW, she is *not* doing well at the moment.
All the best,
Caity and the fantastic four
