Hi @donnademps
I know you’re going through your own cancer journey right now so I’m sorry to hear your friend has also been diagnosed with Mesenteric lymphoma.
Because Large B Cell lymphoma is primarily in the lymphatic system, it can show up in numerous places in the body in the lymph nodes.
The mesentery is the tissue between the intestine and the abdominal wall that envelopes the bowel. Mesenteric lymphoma forms in the lymph nodes within the mesentery.

Here’s an article from My Lymphoma Team for a little overview of the disease.
