I've lost two to cancer in less than two years. They were both pretty bad off by the time they started showing symptoms (the second one lived less than a month after diagnosis), so I doubt chemo would have helped even if I'd had the money. I'm sure I would have tried it anyway if there was a decent chance at substantially more life and good quality of that life, but my understanding is that the cancer very rarely goes away and stays away. They go into remission for a short time, and when it comes back, it's much worse. Animal oncologists give them a much lower dose of chemo than humans would get proportionally because unlike us, they can't look ahead and understand that they're being made to feel horrible temporarily, in the hope of getting better. The first vet offered us prednisone, which was only about $6 a month but made the whole process much harder because the effects are so deceptive. She did so well for a few months that I thought she'd been misdiagnosed and might really be okay, then she went downhill and was gone in a week. So, you know, there are lots of shitty factors to consider in the whole world of shit that is feline cancer. I wish I had more optimistic stuff to say. I can tell you that I never got a misdiagnosis or an iffy diagnosis at all, so like the other anon said, you might want to have her looked at elsewhere if it's possible. I know how miserable they get and I'm really sorry. Feel free to ask me about anything else that might help you at all, if you want to.
