Site Beginnings
This site was started as Lymphoma Resource Page(s) in 1994. 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).
Growth
The site has grown from a single page to over two hundred and continues to grow.

Amazon generates some referral fees to pay for the site. No "popup ads", "pop under ads" or bad advertising is used. Select ads are being used to better inform patients. Companies providing information / illustrations / counters have links to their sites.
Serious consideration is given for advertising, licensing material or other opportunities.
