Rituxan 1/4 - 9/19/12

I have about 30 minutes left of the first of 4 Rituxan treatments.  It has been a long day and I can't wait to get home and see my family.  My cbc showed that my platelets are at 57 so I'm getting lowered to 20mg of prednsione.  The IV is annoying and I had a bad reaction at first to the drug. My throat got really itchy and dry and I had a difficult time breathing. I was going to go on oxygen but they gave me a steroid called solu-medrol through the IV and the side effects went away and they were able to keep giving me the meds.  

Please pray that it's working, I've been reading online a lot of positive results from this drug. 

Thank you for your support. Going to go home now and rest - Kayte
