    Default Good news of the personal variety

    Hi Everyone.

    As many of you may recall, I was diagnosed with WG only a couple weeks after my wedding. This was one tough was to kick of a new marriage. I was far too sick to consider freezing any of my little swimmers, so this meant that we had to put our plans for a family on hold. It's amazing how the possibility of not being able to have children is what made us both really want kids. Sadly we had to wait and hope.

    I was advised to wait 1 year after my last dose of cyclo and, although there's not much research into fertility and Rituxan, we thought we should at least wait another 6 months after my last RTX dose. Anyways, I am very happy to say that everything worked out and my wife and I welcomed a healthy baby boy into our family almost a month ago now. We couldn't be happier! However, we could use a little more sleep .

    I mention this to give some hope to new and especially young members. The current and future drug treatments available will probably allow many of us to live long and relatively normal lives. I still live a little in fear that I might have a flare up and will have trouble looking after my boy and my wife... but I can't worry too much about it as it might not happy for many many years.

    All the best to you all.

    Peter
