Thanks Pete. Glad I have this scheduled for a Friday, plus I'm off work the following week. Couldn't have planned it better...

Hope the infusions went well for you with few side effects and you are in remission soon!
Nothing can break you; you are much stronger than you think... look at what you've already survived.
I'll repeat what Rebekah just said !!!
Life isn't about how you survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain !
blu Do you also take Prednisone???
Thank for asking Rebekah. The infusion went very well. I had no reactions during or after the infusion. I'm enjoying a great holiday weekend and i'm very encouraged about the future. Next infusion is January 8, so fingers crossed that this gets me into remission. Thanks everyone for the the encouragement and positive thoughts!
Yes I do take prednisone but the dosage was reduced to 2.5mg daily 2 weeks ago. I was on 60mg daily when I started the first infusion.
Glad your first round went well. I had my first infusion last Dec 17 and my 2nd infusion on New Year's Eve. The 2nd went same as first so hopefully the same will be true for you. I achieved full remission by April and have maintained it since then. The only side effects i experienced were related to the prednisone -- i started at 60 for a month and only gradually tapered from there.
Happy new year!
