I'm obviously a pretty big Bexxar fan, as it's done wonders for me so far. As you probably know, Bexxar's recommended if bone marrow involvement is 25% or less, and you're obviously on that borderline. This may mean the Bexxar will be especially heavy on your bone marrow reserves as the treatment clears the lymphoma cells. For that reason, I'd strongly encourage you to ask about stem cell collection before you have the treatment, to possibly leave open the option of a transplant down the road if needed. Karl, who founded Patients Against Lymphoma (www.lymphomation.org), and whose wife had Bexxar following several chemo regimens, would also be a good resource.
