Prior to diagnosis, I was unable to work. Luckily, I was qualified for Medicare and Social Security. I was going in and out of the hospital every other week as the Physicians treated symptoms but not the disease. I was convinced that I would not survive long and re-wrote my will, arranged for my wife to get a new, safer car and made a deal for my business to be taken over by a phenomenal employee.
Once I had a confirmed diagnosis, I responded quickly to Rituxin treatment. It's taken two years of treatments to get me feeling well enough to help out part time at my old company.
