Welcome to Lymphoma.com

This site is for those seeking information on lymphoma: Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. If you or someone close have recently been diagnosed, you may be overwhelmed by emotions ranging from anger to disbelief to fear. It is important to get started and take some ACTION as you work toward recovery.

While your cancer care team (your personal doctors and nurses) is your primary source of information, many people look to the Internet to find additional knowledge and sometimes even peace of mind.

At Lymphoma.com, we believe the better informed you are, the better decisions you're able to make. As such we hope to feed your mind and your spirit with both information and a peer-support system. Many before you have found this site helpful.

Here, you can locate the basic information to begin your education through Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on many broad points of lymphoma.
