Harley, I just got my first infusion of the Rituxan bio equivalent Truxima yesterday at our Scottsdale office. It went well. The infusion center is very comfortable and the infusion nurse very good. I actually felt better today than I have in months. I expected the opposite based on a previous experience several years ago. so am curious how I will feel going forward. It’s supposed to take 2-3 months to work, but I am grateful for 1 day of better energy and less pain. I so hope you have a good result when you start your treatment. I am temporarily increasing the frequency of IVIG from every 3 weeks to every two but will go off IVIG in 3 months if the Rituxan is working well. I hope your relocation goes well. I continue to be impressed with Dr Sivakumar, and I am very picky. I feel a ray of hope arising in me which is more than welcome! Take care!

I’m so glad to hear of your positive results with your infusion.
I am moving to my rental on Aug 22, just sold my house and we’re packing up.
My house is coming along in Scottsdale, hoping it’ll be done by end of Sept, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
My first infusion is scheduled for Sept 3rd and my second on the 10th.
I will keep you posted and I’m hoping I’ll get favorable results.
