I do not understand this comment
In her April 19 entry Betsy posted a blog entitled "Excuses, excuses" in which she wrote of a transplant physician who told a patient that she was a good candidate for radioimmunotherapy (RIT) but that she would be back in 2 years.
Indeed, this is, to me, not only mean-spirited, but may well be totally incorrect. Many patients who have received radioimmunotherapy, even for advanced stage IV disease, have continuing remission for years and years. Dare I say cure?
I like to combine, collate and synthesize thoughts. Radioimmunotherapy, unfortunately, is continually attacked by those who use a combination of strategies---one is excuses ("we need more data"); one is mean-spiritedness ("you'll be back in two years") and the last is ignorance in which the physician is not fully educated about RIT.
Why this, seemingly, concerted attack against RIT?
