I gave my insurance company a call this morning to see if I could "help the process along" and they had just approved it! I should get the referral letter for the infusion center in a day or two!:thumbup:

At the Cancer Center right here in Walla Walla. The kids are on spring break, so I don't even need a babysitter for the day.

(LOL Very funny, vdub: 2Walla. How about Walla Squared?)

ArlaMo, I understand the excitement about starting rtx. Even though it knocks me on my butt, I still get excited to do it each time because I know it'll make me feel better in another 6 weeks or so.

ArlaMo, Great News! I actually got approved last week and got my first infusion last Friday. It was awesome! I was so excited as well :) I was not on any medicines other than 60 mg of pred., and was pretty much on the couch from 3pm or so on from weakness for the past few weeks, and it has made a huge difference in just days. Not sure how normal that is, but I am *thrilled* with how well it worked. I will be getting my next one on Monday, and am so excited for that one too!!!

Good luck! Hope it works wonders!!!
