Well no calls over weekend as promised by Rheumy secretary so I called her 9 am again not founding as cheery as normal as I glared again. So I said I'm in radiotherapy today do call before 2 pm.

2 pm came and went and I saw the radiotherapy consultant who agreed I need more radiotherapy to my left hand ASAP.

In the middle of this Rheumy called, told radio guy I was dorry but was waiting on this call and why. They said go round now to rheumatology .

Got a porter to push and off we went, waited an hour, got an apology for the whole thing eg jot getting infusion even tho he wrote prescription the day I saw him and for not bring told about clinic cancellation.

Fair enough so plan Tutuximab starts next Wednesday! Stay on Arava and methotrexate too. Restart steroid 15 mg orally.

So all good I hope and now fingers crossed that Rituximab is for me!!!

Oh Allanah I so hope so for you your sake. What a monumental stuff up. I thought I was the only one that attracted that many gremlins. Good Luck and everything crossed for you

Sounds like Fawlty Towers Hospital wing. But brilliant that things are now set up for next Wednesday, I hope it goes really well with new drug.
