If you get rtx according to the protocol, ususlly there are no reactions. It means getting 100mg steroids before plus benadryl or similar (I get phenergan and 2 paracetamol). They wait 30 minutes after those meds and only then start. Also rtx should be delievered in a very slow rate at first and gradually increase the rate.

Drink a lot. The reaction that I get is very low blood pressure even 60/40. So I drink and eat something and walk a bit and then its better.

Please update us how it goes. Sending you prayers.

Thank you Alysia for the welcome and kind words. I appreciate the reminder to drink a lot and the other details on the infusion. Many thanks also for the prayers - I feel them and they lift me up! I will let you know how it all goes. Thank so much!
Kim
