Cheers, Oliver -- 

No, we don't know as yet what type of Lymphoma it is --- hopefully by next week we will. But again -- it's better than being entirely in the dark.

Thanks again!

Alex in NYC

The good news is that they're catching it early and don't expect to have to conduct any surgery on her (although there'll be loads of tests and drugs in her future...and not the fun kind).
