Rituximab Round Two

[Sangye]

I just got the okay from my Wegs doc to do another round of rtx whenever I want. I'm going to start next week, assuming I can get an appt in the infusion clinic.

I did the first round in October-- one infusion a week for 4 weeks. I was in pretty bad shape when I began-- lungs still hemorrhaging, on ctx at the same time (which was destroying my bone marrow), incredibly weak. I was in terrible shape by the time I finished.

I'm going into this round much stronger, so I'm hoping that it'll go the way it does for most people-- no big deal. I've been getting more and more symptoms lately of increasing Wegs activity. This is good timing to nip it in the bud.

I'm determined that this round is going to get the Wegs into remission.

Great to hear that you are getting your second treatment Sangye, it sounds like the best course of action for you especially if you think your symptoms are already increasing. Hope everything goes well!

I hope you beat me into remission, Sangye. You really deserve it!

[Sangye]

No, no, if I had to choose, I'd be the last. Consistent with my vows.

[Dumpy]

Don't worry about being last lets all just go together.

Good luck Sangye, actualy I will not say luck because I know that you will be worlds better after the treatment and it will not be due to luck but sheer determination and spunk.
