My cat has lymphoma, isn't eating, and breathing heavily. What now?

Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Male | 4 years and 5 months old

Good evening, my cat has a lymphoma cancer, they removed from his gut a piece but not all, he has diarrhea since he had his surgery, it was 3 months ago. He is started breathing heavily around 2 days ago, he doesn't eat since yesterday. Is it any chance left for him? Thank you.

I'm sorry Dexter has lymphoma. Given that he is now not eating and breathing heavily, I'd be concerned he is in pain or that his lymphoma has spread. I would take him into a vet immediately to get checked out. Best of luck.
