Which to choose: R+ ABT263 or R + Bendamustine?

[Guest guest]

According to my oncologist, it's time for treatment. Swollen

lymph nodes, fatigue and slight weight loss in spite of WBC

" only 35K. "

The best argument in favor of the ABT Trial is that if it

doesn't work well, we can try the Rituximab + Bendamustine,

but the reverse is not true. Additionally, the trial offers

intensive monitoring that might prove useful. I have a

couple of weeks to decide.

He believes that either will produce similar good results

with similar side effects.

Any experience with this choice will be appreciated.
