Just some info on lymphoma....It's your choice to try treatment, to try to improve his quality of life,  but know that lymphoma is a tough disease to get around.  There isn't an easy answer for you and you have my sympathy.....you might also try a second opinion or contact a vet school for information on cutting edge treatments for these horses with this diagnosis.  Know that others are thinking of you and your horse........

Answer 2

Like the 1st answer i would get a second opinion on the matter

you may want to put some veg. oil in your horses food if your horse is getting thin. the oil will give your horse more calories

I hope you and your horse get though this okay
