After meeting with my normal onc, we're going to do Rituxan and see if I respond to it. He talked about doing once a week for 4 weeks and send me for a sonogram or pet scan in a couple weeks to see if it's responding to it. If not, they'll add bendamustine for 6 months. I think that would be once a month, with rituxan maintenance again. He gave me 3 options Watch and wait which he wasn't crazy about. So, we start rituxan again on the 26th. Sometimes having such a large group of doctors is very confusing....too many chiefs lol. I'm ok with doing this. I handled rituxan well. I'm doing better today with this, but still wish it was a road less traveled. Thank you all for the kind words and thoughts! You guys are great! Beth |

I think you are such a source of strength and inspiration. You have supported so many people going through trials here on this site and I want to say that I find that commendable.
I did rituxan and I too didnt have any side effects from that regiment at all.
I pray that the option that you choose gives you the outcome that you desire. I would like to pray for you if you dont mind

Hi Beth,
Well..... you won't be alone...Rituxan sounds good to me. Since you tolerated it before, at least there won't be any surprises. I sure hope it will knock things back enough that the Bendamustine won't be needed. I agree...you've traveled this road far too many times...enough already! Take care and thanks for letting us know. Much love...Sue
