Thank you again!!!! I fully expected to find out it
had spread all over. her son died at 9 months with
lymphoma in the intestine. i biopsied it and he died
before the results came back. it had spread to his
chest and lungs. they said they think her chest looks
ok, along with kidneys, liver, stomach etc. they did
see one lymph node enlarged and they said it could
have spread there or it could just be enlarged because
it is near the tumor. i just want to do what i can to
give her a chance. she has been through hell and
deserves a chance
