One of my IGs was diagnosed with lymphoma, the T-cell and with chemo, her life was extended two years. Plus, her quality of life was as good as it ever was, except for about the last month and one episode where the type of chemo wasn't good for her. Overall, while expensive, the greatest cost was at the beginning of treatment when she was getting chemo once a week. It was worth every penny!

Your boy will be in my thoughts, I hope things go well.
When your furbaby is so sick sometimes it is better to opt to go to a specialist especially one at a university vet hospital. They diagnos and treat from a team and wow they are good. Good luck with your little guy. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
