The start for me on FCR.

[sandydog]

Hi all. Though its about time I posted and said hi after following this wonderful resource for so long. WBC at high 80s, and slow growing lymph nodes but plummeting platelets, crushing fatigue and night sweats. So here I am sitting on a bed having my first cycle of rituximab ( FCR ) . Wish me luck and thanks to all CLLers who have contributed over the past months. I will keep you guys posted. Cheers. Sandydog

Hi Sandydog, all the very best to you at this time. It must feel daunting taking your first steps on the road of treatment. But hang in there and focus on the time in the future when you'll begin to feel so much better.

Best wishes Sandydog and I hope all goes well for you, try and stay positive. I found the chemo nurses/teams very kind and supportive and was re-assured by their experience and understanding. Also meeting and talking with others undergoing the same kinds of treatment will be comforting for you. I had my FCR chemo in 2011 and am now feeling much better than I ever thought I would be. I had some little ups and downs during my treatment but six years on and here I am.

Good Luck and best wishes.
