and here I was expecting just to be in for iv steroids. Actually the thought of more rituxan gives me the willies as I am extremely allergic to the stuff (1st treatment abandoned, 2nd treatment I limped through very slowly in icu) so I really don't look forward to it. They give me 1000mg steroids, but still I have a really hard time with it (severe bronchospasm, drop my oxygen sats, the whole nine yards).
Then I have months of out of control asthma which is really horrible.
Oh well, I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised, but I do hate the stuff. Oh, after the rituxan I then go for one cytoxan treatment, then do it all again a fortnight later - except that it will be more like 6 weeks later (it was last time) coz it takes a long time to get the bronchospasm settled down enough.
Oh well, that will teach me to moan about my symptoms - I am being admitted Wednesday (provided they don't put me off - with all the doctor strikes and winter illnesses you just never know with hospitals).
I just feel sorry for my dogs - with me out of action they don't get much exercise
cheers
