Patient empowerment

I have stated that confusion and heartache are frequent expressions in your comments on this blog.

Certainly, this is understandable. My best advice, as a patient, is that you get more than one medical opinion and, certainly, from a physician who is experienced in radioimmunotherapy (RIT). As a patient who has benefited from RIT as first-line therapy, I reject the notion that RIT should be reserved as "last-ditch" therapy for those who have failed conventional therapy.

Many of your comments request my medical opinion. Please understand that, wlhile I am a physician, I am not a lymphoma expert. Therefore, my comments are those of a patient---one who has had a wonderful response to RIT.
