Misunderstanding: In today's standard terminology, "lymphoma" is "malignant lymphoma". Your physician needs to explain what's going on. The diagnosis would have been rendered by a pathologist, and you need to get a copy of the report. Stay proactive and find out what's really going on.

See below...: Lymphoma is a form of cancer therefore saying lymphoma is not cancerous is incorrect.
