The oncology team has a preliminary diagnosis of Burkitt's Lymphoma. While this is a very fast growing tumor (which is why it has not shown up on any prior tests) it responds well to vinblastine. The complications are kidney problems so chemo is done in low doses so as not to kill the tumor too fast, thereby plugging the kidney.
