Allies
Very recent blog comments by our readers are so powerful, so poignant and, yes, so painful. Betsy and I have read and have been moved by your stories of advanced lymphoma muddied and muddled by, shall I say, non-medical issues.
We fully understand these issues. It seems that sometimes they can border on cruelty for the patient and family. The only answer is that we patients must be strong and persistent, even demanding. Patients must be informed of radioimmunotherapy and to learn whether it is appropriate for a given lymphoma patient.
And patients must become allies to one another. Betsy and I are your allies; we shall try to help as much as we can.
