Hello everyone!!

I finally got approval for 4 rituxan treatments and the first one starts on this Monday at UPENN. Hopefully everything will go well & not have too many side effects. Being on this pregnisone has been a challenging and it has made me gain some weight. Especially in my face. I'm tapering now so I started on 40mg two weeks, now I'm on 30mg and on saturday i start 20mg for two weeks, then 10mg. After that I'm hoping I go off of it.

Anyway, if anyone has any advice on the Rituxan, please let me know.

Michelle
