Hi everyone. I had my first rutaxin treatment today and it went great. I am a little groggy from the benadryl. I got done 2 hours early.
Debbie you are right . The stuff is great

I'm glad it went well for you, Becky. The next one will be even quicker. Remission is a word we want to hear come out of your mouth for a long long time!!!! Just keep doing what you're doing. You'll be just fine.
I had my 4 Rituxan maintenance treatments in July. I can't wait for January to come so I can do 4 more. I know it lasts and continues working for up to 6 months. I just wish I could have it constantly flowing through my veins!!! lol

Hi Becky,
I'm rooting for you too and I'm glad to see you're keeping in touch to let us know how you're doing.
I'll bet you were nervous. plus the benydrly ontop of that has you really wiped out. thank GOD you had no reactions. you have a lot of support here just to let you know.
Is rituxin a form of medicine that helps boost the immune system? or is it a form of chemotherapy medicine?

it sounds like such a positive medication hearing from the other people here on the board.

I wish you well.

Linda

Thank you Linda.
Everyone support means so much to me.
How do you know so much information about Lymphoma. You are like a walking text book. I am impressed.
