> I would appreciate any information about Hodgkin's disease - symptoms,

I am only posting this to correct any mis-apprehensions.

--Hodgkin's disease can be successfully treated and cured, but since
  this is a relatively new development, it is better not to rely on
  sources of information that are more than 10-15 years old.
----Information on Hodgkin's Disease in the form of very readable pamphlets is
  is available from the NCI (National Cancer Institute).  
  MD's and health centers usually stock these, but you can call your 
  local cancer center, too.
----There is also an 800 cancer information phone number.
--Symptoms, or lack thereof, can vary.  Diagnosis requires a
  physician.
--Many support groups exist for people under-going treatment, and
  afterwards.
--Probably, the best source of information to questions of a specialized
  nature comes from Stanford Univiersity in California.

Don't wonder and worry! Use the above resources. --Michelle
