My dog does have lymphoma
I just wanted to post and give an update. The vet doesn't recommend treatment so I will just watch him carefully and enjoy him while I can until I think he is getting uncomfortable and then we will put him down. I knew in my heart what it was so I'm not surprised. He thinks we might have 3 months but I don't think I will have that long - it is bigger than it was last week and he is snoring now - he never used to do that so I'm scared they are going to make breathing difficult for him so if they do we will put him down. I'm not going to make him suffer because I am selfish and don't want to lose him. He doesn't recommend putting him down now because he says he still has a high quality of life but if that is not the case then we will do it. Thanks everyone, just wanted to update.

I think it is quite advanced unfortunately and the oncologist actually gave the recommendation about it, my vet just agrees. He's had dogs both ways - with treatment and without and he does not think the time you get from treatment is worth what the dog may go through.
This is what I'm thinking - I would be surprised if I had a month honestly. His snoring really caught me off guard so I don't know how long I have. And he is getting loved on quite a bit now but I'm definitely increasing that! To me his eyes look almost sad, his eyes have always been very expressive, but they look sad, but he might be picking up on my emotions as well.
I am so sorry to hear that.
One of my dogs growing up had a similar situation. She had a very comfortable, low key last few months and actually passed away peacefully at home.
Lots of thoughts and prayers for you guys.

I'm so sorry. We lost our dog to lymphoma 3 years ago. The nodes in her throat were very large, I'm assuming that is what your dog is experiencing.
You'll know when it's time. Enjoy him now and give him lots of love.
Let me know if you want any info about our experience.
Hugs to you. I am so sorry.
ETA: We did not do chemo either. It was quite far advanced, and the benefit would not be worth what it would have put the dog through. It's not a cure, just buys time. We had 8 weeks from the time we first noticed the nodes and took her in, until we put her down.
I'm sorry. Its not fair that they don't get to live forever.
We are all here for you. (((hugs)))
I am sorry, I don't know your story but I am sorry if it is hard to read this. It is amazing the pull animals have on our hearts.
I'm not sure how old yours is, but my 3 1/2 year old is handling things pretty well. I've already explained death to my son many times in regards to other animals which I think helped.
There are some nice books out there too. We received Dog Heaven and I have heard things about I'll Always Love You. I myself have not yet been able to read them out loud to B. If it has a dog in it, I can't read it right now.
