The Word Spreads & More
First, congratulations to Mort on his anniversary! He has posted his entries for the next several days because he and his lovely wife are traveling - something that RIT gave them the chance to do!
Second, I'm happy to report that several people have let me know that they plan to take the LRF Newsletter (posted on April 30) to their oncologists. It's great information to begin a discussion. If you missed it, please read the entry on that date.
Finally, I'm also happy to report that one of our readers avoided a stem cell transplant which his doctor had recommended but which he wanted to avoid if at all possible. Months of risky treatment and recovery were not appealing if there were an alternative. After a great deal of persistent self-advocacy, he took the test dose of Bexxar last week and will complete the treatment this week. I suspect he will be back to work in a matter of days, and with all my heart I wish him all the best as he completes his treatment - in a week, not months!
