I hope this is not true. However, even if so the spleen is fortunately
something that folk can live without quite easily. If so, she shares a
rare illness with the last shah of iran. Personally, I thought this was
a disease that primarily occured in canines which is why I first
suspected jep is joking.

Actually, I know quite a few humans who have, or have recovered from,
lymphoma.

I suspect pvn is alluding to lymphoma of the "spleen" as being more
rare.

I am not joking. Sindi entered some responses about it in the bummed
item, and requested another item be created for her. She's said there
she weighs about 95 lbs now; down 20 pounds from a few months ago.

We were treated for lymphoma from 11/2001 - 5/2002. It was limited,
though, to the upper chest. We would be glad to share our experience
with Ms. sindi, but she has chosen not to read our postings.

The Lymph System does indeed involve the spleen. The spleen is one of
the primary "cleaning" sight for your blood. It will clean out any
dead, weak, or damaged red blood cells and white cells. It is also a
storage sight for various types of white blood cells. The spleen is
important, and if a person has their spleen removed, they must be
careful to not get sick, and typically on antibiotics to help their
body fight off basic germs.

re: "#18 (remmers): Re #7: Email would work."
Is there a Grex "Health" conference, or something like that for the
discussion of such issues?
