6 year old bull dog

I have noticed that our bulldog has 3 golf ball size lumps under his neck and 2 on his back legs.  They are very hard knots.  They are spreading fast.  It is cancer due to all the things I have read.  On top of this he also has allergies and is going blind.  Last night I noticed that the back of his legs was retaining fluid.  What can I do to keep him comfortable?  He still eats and drinks just not alot.

Agree, he should be checked as soon as possible.

He needs to be seen by a vet right away! He could have any number of conditions, which may or may not be cancer, but if he has mast cell tumors, they release histamine and cause blood vessels to dilate to the point that he can go into shock and die.
