Dr says it looks like low grade intestinal lymphoma. He's still there finishing his biopsies and we'll have to wait until the results are sent out and back to be sure. Does anyone have any experience with this disease?

I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. Would you like to give us more detail on your cats age, symptoms etc?

Several people have dealt with this problem. If you search this forum you would be amazed of how many posts come up. I am currently dealing with a lymphoma diagnosis for my kitty and we in a position that chemo isn't an option due to her attitude around vets and her frail condition. Several cats do well with chemo and live several years. Some cats live awhile without chemo as well.

I know this is very scary but this cancer can be treated and even better if it is caught early. On a positive note sometimes lymphoma and IBD can look the same so it is possible it is something very treatable and not the Big C.

I can offer advice and I am sure several others will be able to respond as well.

I went and looked at your other posts about your kitty. So no need to give more stats but if you have specific questions this forum is the best place to be.
