[edit] Those looking for help and information
Obviously, an encyclopedia entry will not help you much in looking for information for you or your loved one if they have cancer. I suggest you consider going to the reference websites at the bottom of the article. Also, contact a charitable organization in your country to ask for information. A directory of lymphoma information by country is at http://www.lymphomainfo.net/info/org.html but there are others, even in your phone book. Ask the associations to mail you information.

[edit] Celebrity diagnoses
The article doesn't seem to flow well with the "Celebrity diagnoses" section. I would suggest removing it because it doesn't seem pertinent to the article.

I think it could make a good additional article later but not pertinent as written. Mikebar 12:59, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

- I second this - the growing list of people who want to link their personal sites to wikipedia articles is taking away from making good articles. Mikebar (talk) 06:48, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Talk contribution moved from Hodgkin's Disease redirect page
This paragraph was clogging up the redirect. I moved it here for conservational reasons. More of a curiosity. -- megA (talk) 13:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Hodgkin's disease (lymphoma) is a fascinating disease to hematopathologists like myself from both the standpoint of the unusual bimodal age incidence, assocation with the Epstein-Barr virus, and the presence of a prominent infiltrate of reactive lymphocytes whose role in the disease is entirely mysterious. Most lymphomas are composed of monotonous sheets or nodules of tumor cells - but not Hodgkin's ! 16:27, 14 January 2005, by 129.109.157.141
