Interesting and poignant comments
I am so pleased, indeed impressed, with the comments and questions from patients and loved ones.
Comments have come from those wlho are young in years and those who are still young at heart, namely, an 83 year old B17 Flying Fortress "driver".
Your comments and questions express a sense of confusion and, at times, heartache. Betsy and I understand this clearly, for there are so many conflicting attitudes toward lymphoma treatment.
Again, I had Stage IV, follicular, intermediate cell size, NHL with tumor in my blood and bones. One expert suggested no treatment until my "vital organs are involved". Another suggested treatment to be initiated promptly. Therefore, I did not "need" treatment. I chose treatment. (Please see my entry entitled "My Creed" dated 5/12/06 for my explanation.)
