Cutaneous lymphoma unfortunately has a poor prognosis. Certain types of chemotherapy can help, and are really the only option for this cancer, with the main goal is to keep his quality of life as good as possible. I recommend discussing what options are available to you, even potentially getting a referral to a veterinary oncologist who can help you decide what treatment protocol would work best for Indy.
