OK. It's like 5:something here, Don't know where you are, but offices are closing. Where are you? What did they say?

Finally got home after a long day! Had to wait 2 hours for the doctor!

BMB was okay, Praise God!  I have to have 8 treatments of Rituxan, but I wanted to have it at the hospital that is 5 min. from home instead of going into Chicago, so now I have to make appt with oncologist at the hospital so I will call tomorrow for appt.

Then after the 8 treatments I have to wait 1 month and have scans to see if all cancer is gone, if not then I will need to have 1 treatment a month for 2 years, which he does not think will be necessary. Then if there is still some cancer they can give you the Rituxan with radiation, which is not like the one we are all used to, this one goes in the IV and goes to the lymphoma cells and zaps them.  I found that so amazing!!

Thank you all for your support and prayers, cause they sure do work!  I am a very lucky woman to have found this site many years ago and to have all of you on my side fighting this.  Going to go and rest cause it was a ton of walking and I am pooped!!

Love you all
