Hey all, Rob here.
Well, after several months and numerous phone calls, I start my infusions of Rituxan tomorrow.... I was finally able to meet with Dr Yacyshyn in Edmonton (Thanks Marta for her contact info and the urging to connect with her) I'm not going to say that she made me more at ease with this new drug but she certainly made me understand that I can't stay on Cyclophosphamide any longer and that this is my next best option. I am certainly most worried about the possible severe side effects for someone with an already compromised immune system. I'm staying positive and planning to be back at work again on Friday.
Wish me luck!
