Au revoir but (hopefully) not goodbye
With sadness I write my final entry because this blog has come to its end.
Firstly, I thank Biogen Idec for its educational support of this blog. Secondly, I thank Healthology for allowing me to serve, along with Betsy,. as co-moderator.
It has been an honor for me to have had the opportunity to assist other lymphoma patients and their loved ones. Knowing that patients---blog readers---have successfully received radioimmunotherapy (RIT) when they were told that transplantation was the sole option is most gratifying.
Appreciative responses that I have received are related to such a small effort on my part. Yet, my input seemingly has had such an important positive effect. Helping the lymphoma patient to ask the important questions of their oncologists or helping a patient find a physician experienced in RIT or soothing the anxiety in the patient's spouse has been a privilege for me.
It is my sincere hope that this blog will be brought back to life in order that other patients with a new diagnosis of lymphoma can be supported and assisted.
Thank you, Betsy, my partner in moderating the blog for your unflagging spirit and for placing service above self.
I hope that we meet again.
