said lymphoma and when I went to look it up that was listed. Is
lymphoma and lymphosarcoma (sp) the same thing then? I know it
involves the lymph glands as my dr. has me check them daily for any
sudden enlargement but he also said about the tumors all through her.


Dear Laurel:

Lymphoma, lymphosarcoma, and malignant lymphoma are all synonyms for
a malignancy of the lymphocyties of the body.
