Thanks for that reminder about the different lymphomas. My Mittens
had mediastinal lymphoma, and did last and do well for a while.
Calawalla, I think had multicentric lymphoma and it was indeed quite
different, and I never quite got the hang of the name, so your
reminder helps. Gloria

Jen, be aware that Simon had multicentric lymphoma, which is the
kind least responsive to chemo and also the kind that people
normally detect later due to absence of palpable masses and due to
it not affecting behavior until it spreads from the lymph nodes
into the liver or bone marrow. Simon got 2 months from the chemo
and steroids, but he had the worst kind of lymphoma for chemo and
he was very sick by the time it was detected-- he got bright
yellow, in fact, before he was hospitalized and started on chemo. I
just wanted to emphasize to you that Ewok does not have the same
thing as Simon, and may be in a far better position to get more
time and more quality, in case my referencing Simon made you scared
Ewok would only have 2 months or go through what Simon went through.
