Something to consider
I have often heard fellow lymphoma patients tell me that they are in the troubling position of having to choose between radioimmunotherapy (RIT) and transplantation as their therapy.
I am not an oncologist, but I have a suggestion that has worked admirably for two friends who faced this troubling issue. The patients both chose RIT in the form of Zevalin. BUT, prior to the Zevalin treatment, the patients had stem cells harvested for storage in case a future transplant became necessary.
Both patients have done just fine with the RIT. Saving stem cells "just in case" gave them a sense of reassurance.
I suggest you discuss this subject with your oncologist if you are in the therapeutic quandry between RIT and transplantation.
