Ardith, I am so sorry to read that news. With multiple ferrets having lymphoma it sounds like you *might* be in a lymphoma clump. Those are truly miserable experiences. We have been through 2 such clumps in about 25 years and some odd months. There is info about them in
http://www.afip.org/ferrets/PDF/Lymphoma_Ferrets.pdf
(Dissection photos warning for each page if those bother you.)
Work at MIT years ago indicated that there appears to be a viral trigger which ferrets have something like 2 to 3 years before such clumps begin to appear. The funding and time ran out before the virus could be pinpointed (which is never easy to do).
Hopefully, this will instead be just a coincidence since no more than two ferrets have lympho, but I am so sorry that you and they are going through this.
