    I am 1000% certain those precautions were not for rtx. Chemo drugs cannot be administered in the regular Infusion Clinic at JHU, where I get my rtx infusions. They're not set up to handle proper disposal, etc....

    It had to be the MRSA, Brooke.

    Funny story: When I was first treated for Wegs with oral ctx, I wound up back in the hospital with complications. The morning nurse came in to give me my a.m. meds and was all suited up with the heavy duty rubber gloves, etc.... She said it was necessary because I was on chemo. I told her it wasn't nearly as potent as IV chemo and it wasn't necessary just to give me one pill. When my doctor came in later I told him and he cracked up laughing.

    Funny story Sangye! I guess I would rather them be over cautious than under
    When I did my infusions this year, the lady at the check in counter called it my IV Therapy. I like that name! Sound better than Rituxan Infusion.

    Ya, the nurses here knew that rtx was not chemo even without me telling them all about it.

    I got my infusions in the Dialysis room.

    You can get non-chemo infusions in the chemo room, you just can't get chemo infusions in the non-chemo rooms.
