Readers' comments
Betsy and I continue to receive many comments from you, our blog readers. We thank you for writing--it demonstrates both your keen interest in our blog entries and, even more importantly, enables us to understand your concerns, your questions, indeed, at times, your apprehension.
Please continue to write to us.
The most recent readers' comments to me relate to two topics: 1. learning the names of physicians experienced in radioimmunotherapy in the reader's geographic area, and 2. what should the patient do when there is recurrence of lymphoma?
Concerning the names of physicians, we are pleased to track down names of physicians, but you must give us a little time to assist you in this search. I know of no registry that lists RIT physicians.
Concerning recurrent disease, I suggest the patient strongly consider getting a second oncology opinion. You, the patient, should not be concerned about hurting your physician's feelings. A quality physician understands that a patient can have utmost respect for the physician, yet request another opinion. Oftentimes, the second physician offers a very important suggestion that is of immense benefit.
