Rituximab Round Four

[Sangye]

I start another round of rtx tomorrow but I'm not looking forward to it. I just hope it works this time. I'm in awful shape right now and feel like my lungs are becoming more inflamed each day. I wish the rtx didn't completely flatten me for 6 weeks like it does. You guys who tolerate it well (and even have quick relief of Wegs symptoms!) are luckier than you can possibly know. It takes every ounce of courage I have to walk in that infusion clinic knowing how I'll feel within an hour, much less the coming weeks.

Well, it's 10:30 and I have to be up by 5:30. Goodnight all, I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Sangye, I do feel for you because I am one of those who does well and I pretty much had my first two when you did and yes, I am grateful that I feel mostly normal with only two infusions. Be strong enough just to get youself through it and I'll be sending some good strong vibes your way. I hope this one works for you! It's been hard reading about how you're still struggling and it's about time you got a break. Finger and toes and everything else is crossed - good luck.

One small step in front of the other, slow and steady.......you are going to win.

Keep smiling
