More info...

Evidently, one of the first places a lymphoma can metastasize is to the mediastinum (breast bone) ~ Duncan's is clean!! They did an abdominal ultrasound to look for other enlarged lymph nodes;
they found one area in his spleen ~ did a fine needle biopsy... Of the five samples, only one showed a slightly increased # of lymphoblasts, which could be just a normal phenomenen... this is GREAT news!!
So even though it's a T cell lymphoma (not as responsive to chemo), it hasn't likely spread.

Oh Wow... Bobbie, this is GREAT news! So is he back home now? Maybe now your stress level will go back to normal... what ever normal is.
Hugs to you!
