I should have been more clear. I think that your average lifespan in general has been longer than ours because you have had more with known ages of 9 years or over.
In terms of the lifespans of the ones we have had with lymphoma; we've had two who had it discovered for sure on their final days (one during exploratory surgery, and one who we'd been been having all sorts of tests (including multiple ultrasounds) done on for about 3/4 of a year because he seemed "off" despite the fine test results, then that final day he suddenly had uncontrolled bleeding and a thoracic tumor which was growing in real time. The longest we have had one go with lymphoma (with Pred) was 14 months, and most here survived with lympho and Pred for about 9 months, some longer, some shorter.
