I am very sorry about your sad news!
Out of all the cancer's out there Lymphoma has one of the best cure, or remission rates with chemotherapy of all the common cancers.
Holistic therapy can also be helpful.
It would be best find a holistic veterinarian who is familiar with acupuncture, herbs and other treatments to help you with an appropriate protocol for your cat. I would not do this on your own. A holistic vet could perform acupuncture, which is an integral part of the treatment along with supplying your cat with herbs and supplements. Please search for a holistic vet at AHVMA.com or Chi institute or just do a google search.
Colostrum, Missing Link, Probiotics such as I-Flora, Culturelle, or Rx-Biotic are all excellent adjuncts for your cat. All wet food is great, but a home cooked diet is even better. It should be 75% protein and 25% green veges, mushrooms, and berries if your cat finds them palatable. A bit of garlic and turmuric (the yellow spice in curry) is also helpful. Other important supplements include: Vitamin C, Viamin E, Vitamin K, and melatonin.
Holistic chemotherapy agents include: Poly MVA, Neoplasene (bloodroot extract), Hoxsey formula and many Chinese herbal formula's.
The chemotherapy agents can have lots of side-effects and need to be given in a very safe manner, often with other medications to eliminate such side-effects as inappetance or nausea.
