Dog lymphoma: breathing problems, vomiting. Is it time to say goodbye?

Question

Hello, my dog has lymphoma and is on 40mg prednisolone daily, he seems to be having his remission because hi breathing sounds like a growling sound, he will barely get up, and he throws up most of what he eats. His lymph nodes aren’t as enlarged as before so I wanted to know if there’s any in his chest to cause this breathing difficulty. Are there any last minute treatments? Also, when should I know when to let him go because it’s very difficult but I don’t want him to suffer like this. Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Male | neutered | 85 lbs

There are many lymph nodes in the chest as well and any enlarged ones can cause these signs; unfortunately lungs may be infiltrated by the tumoral cells as well. An immediate check up is needed as x rays can confirm this clinical suspicion and decide whether further treatment can be an option.
