Happy to respond
In the past week, and directly related to this blog, I have received several messages from readers who specifically ask for the names of physicians experienced in radioimmunotherapy (RIT) in their respective geographic areas.
This is great, for it promotes the vigor in the effort made by Betsy and myself to "spread the word" about RIT. Only through your steadfastness---indeed, your insistence---will you be able to learn from an expert whether RIT is appropriate for your lymphoma.
Based upon the comments of lymphoma specialists with whom I have spoken, it is distressing to learn of patients who receive, over and over again, cycles of chemotherapy or rituxan without the benefit of RIT consultation.
Happily, the pendulum is starting to swing toward RIT as an important agent in lymphoma therapy.
I am happy to respond to these enquiries and I shall help find the physicians.
