I had a kitty named "City Kitty" that had the same type lymphoma...I put her on the chemo, and she lived another 9 months..She responded very good until the blood counts started gettting low, we had to stop the chemo, but she had 5 motnhs of adriamycin IV monthly and was on 20 mg of pred the rest
They may have given her 3-4 months because of it
already being in the lymph nodes.

Julia,
I have not heard of radiation being a usual part of treatment for
that type of cancer, which by the way usually has a very good response

I am not sure why they gave her 3-4 months. That might be the case, but mediastinal lymphoma sometimes responds very well to chemo, and some cats have gone years in remission from chemo. Cats with FeLV respond as well to chemo, but they do tend to come out of remission faster if they go into
No, I actually agree with that. It does depend on the cat. If Samantha is terrified of car rides and vets, I might not do chemo, because you need weekly appointments. It all depends. If she is relatively ok with it, I would.

Follow your
gut instinct, if you think that her quality of life on the chemo will not be
good,
and that you may have better QUALITY time
