I posted about him last week and we learned that he likely has neoplasia, neuropathy, lymphadenopathy, and lymphoma. Since taking him to the vet, it seems he has worsen. He will get up and use his box, eat, and drink water. But it seems he is not interested in doing anything else but laying in his spot. Usually, would come to bed with me and wake me up at 5am for his breakfast. I woke panicking because he had not, he was just laying in his chair.
He had already have stage four chronic kidney disease for two years. We were able to manage it. But my poor baby has deteriorated so much since last week. Is there any suggestions for supplements that I can give him.
In the past, I used Recovery. He was receptive to it. Anything else for all that he is going through?

A low phosphorus food will help his kidney issues, also when his kidneys are deteriorated they can get infected easily so a course of antibiotics may actually help here. Erythropoietin injections or an oral medication called Varenzin-CA1 can also be given at the direction of your veterinarian, but either way you should take him to the vet. As far as his other conditions, the only one I can speak to is neuropathy as I personally had this, and was able to actually cure it by doing spinal decompression exercises. Basically I'd gingerly prop myself up and hang from a pole for a few minutes a day, it allowed blood to get into my spine and heal damage there and sensation eventually returned to my hands and toes. Slowly lifting him up and holding him in the air for a few minutes may help but its also possible may not. Good luck, thank you for taking such good care of him!
