This site was started as Lymphoma Resource Page(s) in 1994 while the primary author was undergoing treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma (back then it was Hodgkin's Disease).  The site was designed to collect lymphoma information resources on the Internet that were not listed collectively elsewhere.  This was at a time when the only well recognized site was Amanda's Home Page (later renamed Can.Survive).
