Hi there and thanks for posting on PetCoach!
The costs for this will vary depending on what chemotherapy agents are used and length of treatment and response to treatment. Costs for these drugs can vary depending on what veterinary hospital you go to. Typically, for low grade (small cell) lymphoma, oral chemotherapy agents can be used. These can be expensive and may be over $100 a month.
I hope this helps and thanks again for posting!

I'm sorry to hear that your cat has intestinal lymphoma! The cost of chemotherapy can vary tremendously depending on what specific protocol your oncologist recommends, as well as what facility you go to - so I'm afraid it's really not possible to give a "general" answer to your question.
If you're considering chemotherapy as a possible treatment option for your kitty, I would definitely encourage you to have your vet refer you to a specialty center to consult with an oncologist there. The initial consultation is not usually very expensive, and the oncologist should be happy to go over your options and give you detailed information on costs at that time to help you make a decision.
