To mestatasize is actually just the spreading of the cancer from one body part to another. Frequently it is the bone and, yes, you are right it is very serious.

I think lymphoma and leukemia are linked together because the blood and lymph node cancers are similar somehow.

You know, I may build a toad house since I live here in Toad Tunnel Town. I swear I heard one a while back. I also dearly want a bat house. We had some living in the rafters above our front door. The droppings made it look like we had mice but I figured they're eating all those nasty skeeters with West Nile. In case anyone is interested, Yolo County has one of the highest rates and we had a death this week from it. Hey, bats! Wanna come live at my house?
