Thanjs for sharing!! Something to hope for!
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

I'm hoping he is discharged by now and home doing well! Keep us posted @Aneinu !

Thank you all.
He was discharged last Saturday night. Hemoglobin on the rise and feeling well. Scheduled for the second half of the rtx dose this Tuesday.
The only concern is that he had this itching since Friday. Last time a week later he developed rashes all over. This time, only itching. He doesn't wanna take benadryl, for he thinks that will mask the allergic reaction, if there is one.
We shall see.

Sounding good. If benadryl only masked allergic reaction I don't think they would be giving it during an infusion. I think it is treatment of allergic reaction.
Another reaction to the rtx.
Admitted to icu.

He had another reaction in middle of rtx infusion. Extreme tightness in chest. Eyes, lips, nose and cheeks swelling. Rashes many places. Administered strong stuff (benadryl, epinephrine, steroids) and all back to normal after an hour or so. In icu overnight. Sleeping comfortably.

Glad he is feeling better. I don't know if this article would help but it would be something you could ask your doc about. I went through desensitization for sulpha drugs many years ago and it was successful for me. In fact the success rate is very high for sulpha. I don't know what it is for Rituxan.

Thank you.
That is very informative (although I must say, very much not understood by me, although I think I understood the basic concept)
