Ongoing question list

I'm going to use this post to collect questions for the hematologist.  First, here's a list from the American Cancer Society:

• Do you recommend starting treatment now or waiting until later on?
• What options do I have for treatment of my Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia?
• What options do I have for reducing symptoms of my Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia?
• Which chemotherapy drugs do you recommend? Would you compare their effectiveness and side effects to others?
• Are biologic therapies or stem cell transplantation an option in my situation?
• What side effects can I expect from my treatment?
• What should I do to be ready for treatment?
• Should I get a second opinion?
• How long will it take me to recover from treatment?
• When can I go back to work or resume other activities after treatment?
• What are the chances that my cancer will recur?
• How long do you think I'll survive?

Now, here is my (growing) list:

• Who are the experts on this disease?
• Is Rituxan a "biologic therapy"?
• Should I consider taking part in a clinical trial?
• There seems to be some research indicating that apoptosis (cell self-death) therapies exist.  What can you tell me about them?
• What are the "important" blood numbers?  In particular, what are my Immunoglobulin-M (IgM) and red blood cell count (RBC)?  What's the difference between the hemoglobin (HGB) measure and RBC count?
