Happy New Year
I wish all my lymphoma "family" a promising and healthy New Year.
Betsy and I have attempted, with enthusiasm and optimism, to educate lymphoma patients about the potential benefits of radioimmunotherapy (RIT). We are living, and very healthy, examples of the healing power of RIT. Both of us had lymphoma invading virtually every organ of our bodies and now, thankfully, not the slightest hint of cancer.
I urge you all to have a single New Year's resolution: Promise yourself to have a consultation with a physician experienced in RIT---a radiation oncologist or a nuclear medicine physician---if you have recurrent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Find out if RIT is an option for you before you commit yourself to recurrent cycles of chemotherapy or maintenance Rituxan.
