Subject: Re: virally induced lymphosarcoma
We are among those who have had a lympho clump.
The hypothesis that there might ba viral trigger for some cases
was investigated for a while at the Dept. of Comparative
Medicine of MIT, but they didn't find a culprit. That doesn't mean
that such a silent viral contributor doesn't exist; it is just a
reflection of how very difficult such studies are.

everything that's happening with Newton, but today I noticed that
Dobie's lymph nodes feel big. Dobie's otherwise a healthy girl
although she's fat and her tail is a little bald, but is it sensible to
have her go through the aspirates too?
