Good luck buddy...hope everything went off without a hitch. You should be getting home soon if you went in this morning....(9:30 here...12:30 there)in NC. I always schedule mine for as early as possible. Is this the last one until 5 mo's from now? Hope so...then you can have a nice long rest before going back at it again. Enjoy your napping today, as I'm sure the benedryl will make you drowsy. Thinking good thoughts for you...Sue (FNHL-2-3A-6/10)

    Thinking of you John
    Hi John, I was thinking of you and how you were doing? As Sue said hopefully your treatment went well today! Haven't seen you post a lot hoping that's because you've been busy! Take care of yourself and keep us posted.

    Sincerely,
    Liz

    You know the drill like I do with the R. We hate to drag our butts in there,but we do because we have too. It goes pretty fast after the first one for me. Mine last for 4 weeks. I go in 1 day a week for 4 weeks,then its home free for 6 months. The first visit is an all day adventure because they have to infuse the R slowly to make sure there are no reactions. The next three are less than half the time. I got one more to go in this session and its scan time next month. Thats the longest month of the year for me. My butt is draggin' from the R and will sleep good tonight. Thanks, John

    Hi Funny man
    Dear John,

    Of course you haven't lost your sense of humor!

    I wish you the best, and hope your Rituxan treatment goes well. Hmmm, am I correct? Did
    you have a problem with the before treatment of Prednisone? Will they give you prednisone
    first? Keep us updated, OK.

    Love Maggie

    hi john
    glad everything went as well as expected, it always makes me tired. I have my 24 hour infustion today and 90-minutes tomorrow then hopefully i'll get to go home since my doctors nurse said i would only be here for 24 hours and i don't think i left my cat out enough cat food. blessings denise

    Good Luck
    Denise,
    Good Luck today with the infusion. Your cat will be fine. They can go a day at least without eating. They may not like it a bunch,but they will be fine. John

    No Pred
    Maggie,
    I had very little problem with the Pred except it did keep me up late. I do not get Pred anymore. I just get the tylenol and benedryl before I get the Rituxin infusion. John
