Hi Amy,
So sorry to here about your fuzz.
Before one of my kids was definitively identified with lymphoma, we
all thought it was MegaE so I did a lot of research on it in English
and in Japanese research journals.
I'm afraid the outlook is even worse than lymphoma. :( There is
absolutely no really GOOD treatment except supportive at this time.
(Zantac and other meds do help minimally so that is something.) From
all the vet reports and personal posts I read on various forums, an
outlook of 3-6 months at best is typical.
I'm very sorry you have to deal with this disease. I wish you and
your fuzz the best.
