    Delighted!

    I am delighted to hear that things are going well so far! Glad to hear you are back home! Not too long ago, I thought maybe I was staring an SCT in the face too, but as it turned out, I haven't needed one so far. I'm hoping it stays that way. If it doesn't, I know now who's brain to pick. :)

    act vs. consolidation chemo

    Nathan I have primary cns nonhodgkins.  Iv'e had 4 rounds of induction chemo.  All my tests have been great.  My MRI of my brain shows a area tha they don't know if its scar tissue from the surgery or ca.  They want to do stem cell on me or consolidation chemo.  Which works Better.  I'm so confused.

    I had different treatment options

    Lizzy,

    I wish I knew the answer to your question. I was given the option of autologous stem cell transplant or radiation to my liver. The radiologist scoffed at the idea, so I did the STC. I also had a another opinion, and he also suggested the STC.

     

    Maybe you should seek a second opinion before deciding? Although I ended up sticking with my same doctor, I still felt better having a second look at my particular case. Someone here may also have experienced similar and have some input.. that happens a lot around here :)

     

    Whatever you may choose, may it kick the cancer in the butt. -Nathan
