Key questions to ask your consultant
What sort of treatments would be open to me (e.g. new ones like many discussed on the list - I even forget the name of the front line drugs now, I almost said ibuprofen ;-) As I cannot remember the spelling I cut and paste them:
Rituximab
(Rituxan) - Ibrutinib (Imbruvica)giving away my secrets.

High Altitude and CLL: Risk?

Bendamustine vs FCR
He is suggesting that Bendamustine with
Rituximab
will be a better option for me than FCR because of some particular presentation of my condition. Does anyone have experience of Bendamustine to share? Thanks

Wondering
Well I had my second infusion of
Rituximab
on Thursday. Took six attempts to get the cannula in so am a bit bruised. I know they said it can take up to 12 weeks to see a difference. What they haven't said is what sort of difference.

Secondary BR Treatment
After being diagnosed in Jan 2013 went through immediate FCR which lasted eight months. This led to a three year remission after which the disease was again detected.

Arthroscopy of the knee?
At the moment I am stable on
rituximab
and steroids, but I don't know if this will be something that worries the surgeon.

As further trials are carried out on M.E treatment using
Rituximab
by Fluge and Mella it is of some interest how the same treatment is providing useful options within a similar autoimmune neurological condition MS http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe1614717?rss=searchAndBrowse&

Yippee! Just had confirmed 2 more health related talking points; with which, I can bore the pants off everyone I meet. How lucky is that?
First off, be assured that although I post rarely, I do regularly read and digest the all the posts here. I have benefited from the wealth of knowledge found within the threads. Much as I would like to indulge in relating the nitty gritty of my new talking points. I will restrain myself and try to stick

Rituximab how long before it starts to work?
My husband had his last (4th) treatment on the 23rd December but still no change in his platelets. We've read it can take up to 12 weeks to hopefully work but is that from the 1st or the 4th treatment? Any advice gratefully received. Thank you.

Rituximab - side effects
Hi On Friday 16th December, I received my 2nd infusion of
Rituximab
- 2 weeks after the 1st infusion; this is for treatment of anca positive vasculitis, probably Churgg Strauss. I would be interested to hear from others how they felt at this stage and whether they had any side effects.

Good and the bad.
My main meds are myfortic and had 3
rituximab
infusions. In the last 8 years I felt I have batteled against lupus and had to fight all the way to get answers. Biggest problem is dealing with Drs that have little or no knowledge of lupus.
