Lyme disease versus lymphoma in dogs–how do you tell the difference?

I posted a previous question about my dog’s symptoms, but now it looks like we’re down to two options, according to the vet: Lyme disease or lymphoma. His lab results apparantly could indicate either of them…. He has swollen lymph nodes, watery eyes, and was a bit limpy (but he’s 13 and a half and arthritic, so it’s hard to tell what that means). He’s responding well to steroids and antibiotics, in terms of his energy level, limpiness, etc. Can anybody shed light on the symptoms of either of these diseases and how to distinguish one from another? Thanks so much.
Apparently he tested positive for lyme, but it was not a strong positive. As for his other lab tests, they found high calcium levels (which he had more than a year ago, when healthy) and above average white blood cell count.
