Update, I will be getting 4 weekly Rituximab infusions starting August 23.
The addition of recent events, shortness of breath, accumulation of chest fluid, lab results , prompted the decision to leave my SMZL "watch and wait status" and start treatment. Covid is a concern and will be getting an Evusheld injection, too. Also planned are labs at each infusion week, a CT in two months, and bone marrow biopsy in 5 months. Hope this all goes well.

Hi Stan,
I hope the Rituximab infusions will take you back to a better health status.
I recently had Covid and was given the Paxlovid to assist with my recovery. After a month I'm finally feeling as if I'm back to my normal energy level.
I will be thinking of you on the 23rd and hoping all goes well with your infusion.
Stan, I’m hoping your Rituximab infusions are less traumatic and you are seeing your lab results go in the right direction. Eating healthy is super important. You have to treat your body like it’s a Ferrari and only give it the finest fuel. I see my oncologist for follow up on 9/20. Keep me informed on your progress.

Hi Stan, I hope your treatments go as well as mine did. I too had a series of Evushield injections. I was given the pair of injections (one in each buttock) several months apart with no ill effects.
I go back in September to see my doc after labs have provided the bloodwork results ahead of that visit to see if my SMZL is still in remission. Prayers for us both to enjoy as much of our lives as we can.
