One of the dogs my family had also had lymphoma, and with treatment he held on for another year or so after he was diagnosed. Although the chemo treatments didn't hit as hard as would a human (I believe), I would say about 25% of the time he was pretty sick, usually right after a treatment; after that he seemed happier and playful. Once the medication was stopped, it went downhill pretty fast; less than a month or two. It was not a good time.
