I lost my 12 yo dog to hemangiosarcoma last year, so I know what a tough situation it can be. In my case, it was a very quick onset and his quality of life deteroriated drastically within a week. The good/great news about lymphoma is that it is very treatable with chemotherapy. I volunteer in an animal cancer clinic and we see a lot of happy golden retrievers with lymphoma that end up in remission for an extra five years that they wouldn't have had otherwise.
