CTX (chemo)

Good luck with the RTX, Phil. It's been almost five weeks since my first RTX infusion...Although I don't feel all of the sudden better, my lab numbers improved this week. So perhaps the therapeutic effect of RTX is starting to kick in. (I hear six-weeks is the number for when the effect usually takes full force - so maybe next week will be even better). For me the side-effects were pretty much non-existent except for feeling really tired the rest of the day after the infusion...but that might have just been the stress of driving up for the appointment and sitting there for 4 hours.

Thanks norcalian. Hopefully it will work well for me as well.
