Hi Lori, I visit my oncologist once every second month, have a blood test etc and a maintenance dose of our favourite drug, Rituximab and I’m free for another 2 months. In January I will be finishing the maintenance dose, and wait a few months and have all the scans, bone marrow etc tests again. On the whole except for that very first dose of Rituximab it has all gone VERY well.

That’s excellent news that the Rituximab is working so well for you. I had similar positive results and was happy this was available!
That first dose of Rituximab is notorious for a minor reaction. My doctor had alerted me that this might happen but that the infusion teams are ready for any contingency know what to do…and they did! LOL. After that, each one was smooth sailing.
I hope you’ll continue to keep us updated in Connect, please?
